CAN IT BE USED IN SALT WATER

I pretty much exclusively use it in a calm salt water bay for fishing. I always thoroughly wash it down with fresh water after each day and let it completely dry before storing. Never had any problems for the 1 1/2 years using it.

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

Just bought one a month ago and that's all I use it for. Just remember to seal welded joints. Spray with sealant.

I would say yes. I use it in a salt water swimming pool, but have not used it in the ocean. The device is sealed and should not let in any water, salt or otherwise. If you are worried about effect of salt remaining on the surface and drying out there, wash it off after use. Additionally, the instructions coming with the device do not contraindicate use in salt water.

I have used it in salt water, and yes it does rust. It also prevents the top part from unscrewing so I have to buy a new one. Not waterproof.

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 am not sure what the specs say but I don't see any reason why it can't be used with salt water. All of the electrical components are pretty well sealed as far as I can tell. It is a brushless motor so there is no need for a seal that is going to wear out either. It's pretty cheap and worth a try. Jordan

Yes can be used in salt water, and speedometer. Be sure to read what type of transducer if it comes with a basic transducer the downimage won't work, you need the HDI TRANSDUCER for the down image. I had to purchase a different transducer that I got at bass pro shops for around $60.

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.

I don't see why you couldn't use it for saltwater. Should work as it is inert. I'm not a saltie- expert though, mind you. There are some substrates out there that will buffer the water better for saltwater. Saltwater requires a higher pH and a higher GH/KH. Using an inert substrate won't hurt your fish or alter the chemistry of the water- but won't provide any buffering for pH swings etc. As fish "pee" and "life-happens" the pH of the water will change slightly between water changes. You will usually be better off for saltwater with a buffered substrate... but this wouldn't be bad.

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.

According to Garmin manual it can be used in salt water, but the depth range drops to 600ft range. The range is salinity dependent. Hope this helps.

Salt water will corrode the components as stated in the manual. I havent tried

Definitely. I have only used it for saltwater but it would serve well in freshwater too.

Not for saltwater use, you can use it but you got to clean it thoroughly. The inshore Abu's the less expensive ones are called the Orra's. The Orra so are not that much but made for saltwater ,hope this helps.

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.

Hello, this machine can be used in salt water, rinse with water when washing it

Yes, I would never use this in saltwater, also I would not use it for anything bigger than Bluegill or Sunfish if you want it to last, its just not a quality piece.
