I don't use it in salt water. I am not sure if it is compatible or not. Recommend you check Minn Kota website.

The motor is not built for salt water. That being said, when I use it for salt water I simply flush it out in fresh water directly afterward. I will clean it completely and rinse it very thoroughly. I have never had a problem.

Why certainly it can be operated in salt water as well as brackish water. Be prepared for earlier motor failure as well as other water contacted part failure. It is not specificly designed to operate in salt, but will operate in water no less. They do leak and water does get inside, then the corrosion will begin.

Yes, there would be no issue with using it with a salt water pool. The only thing would be that you would need to use a Scalewatcher 5 star unit due to the fact that it is outside. You cannot use the 3 star for outdoor use.

I do not know. I do not have a salt water pool. It would be best to ask the manufacturer. I was well pleased with the item.

I don't think it can run in salt water. The reason I say this is that it must be in the water for it to start. The water goes through an internal cooling/power system and I don't think salt water would be good for it. I would contact the manufacturer directly to make sure this is true or not.

Probably. I only ran mine in a freshwater lake, however. Not sure how saltwater may affect the motor or other mechanism.

No it is not designed for removing salt from sea water. That is a different style and much more expensive.

Yes. We have a salt water pool. We love this thing! It has taken all the worry out of keeping our pool full.

It could be, you will need to change your reel. This reel is not for salt water use.

yes the salt water pump should be in the kit. if it comes with the paper filter I highly recommend getting the bigger pump with the sand filter.

Don't know but I've been using it in salt water last year without any problems.

Yes it has a salt water setting. Make sure your unit come with the right transducer. This unit is capable but didn't come with the right transducer to use down imaging just the two d sonar

No it can not be used in salt water, it works excellent but if you bow mount it you have to turn the control head around on the shaft this info is not in the instruction they asume you are useing it on the transum of the boat.

the motor isn't designed to get wet, if you are able to keep the motor dry outside use would be OK as long as temps are above freezing,
