can this be used in salt water

It can. But it is not recomended. If used in saltwater you should remove the propeller and the shaft. Use a pipe cleaner inside the shaft housing. Then reoil with white litheom grease. Alot of work, but if you don t do this after a saltwater run. It will rust a the shaft will seize up. I trashed one in saltwater. I no longer run in saltwater at all.

According to the manufacturer's literature it can be used in saltwater with the recommendation that it be rinsed in fresh water after every use. Personally I wouldn't since the moving parts aren't designed for that heavy usage and the reel is enclosed. A casting reel would be more what you'd want unless you plan to use this reel just one season. There are more than a couple plastic parts in this fine spincast reel.

Yes, it can be used with a salt system. In fact it complements each other. The minerals help by stabilizing the water and having less of a demand on the chlorine generator.

it is not recommended for it to be used in salt water as it will corrode quite quickly

Can be used in salt or fresh water. If you use in salt water just rinse it off after use. Will last a lot longer for 30 seconds of work

Can be used for either Fresh or Salt water. In salt water it can remove some trace elements which is good for salt water tanks. But is safe in either one.

I have never used it in salt water, I suppose it could be used, my first thought would be the same as fishing reels. When I use rods and reels in salt water I always make an effort to clean and flush with fresh water prior to storing them. The metal frame would certainly be exposed to salt water, and would rust if neglected. The pontoons would fair much better, but would clean them as well after use in salt water.

I have not used it in saltwater. I think it is aluminum and plastic. I personally would want something beefier for saltwater. I think a little salt might gum it up. Hopefully someone will weigh in with first hand knowledge. It is a good product for its price point. Fly shop folks do not recommend it for saltwater.

I honestly do not know. The very small instruction booklet that it came with was not even in English. It has worked great the couple of times I have taken it out. Very loud, but it runs! I just don't know about salt water.. sorry.

It is not designed for salt water so you will need to rinse it off with fresh water after every use. They are definitely strong enough to handle the fish you are after.

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

I am using it in a freshwater set up so I can confirm that the quality is excellent. I do not see why it would not also work well in a saltwater set up with glass.

I see no reason why this unit could not be used in salt water. I am not for sure if maps for some salt water area's is loaded but I know you can get a card and load them into unit. It does come with transducer and the GPS reads your speed, it is very accurate.

I do not know. My pool is not a salt water pool. The item in question is very nice and worked well.
