I`m using mine in saltwater and it seems to be working well. Of course I clean it with fresh water after each use.

You could use it, yes, but that also depends on a lot of facts, wing, how angry is the sea, etc.

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'm not sure. The package says salt water. Maybe you should look for the Gulp that is good for fresh water. I don't know if the fish know the difference.

I haven't tried it with salt water, nor at that temperature, Sorry. It appears the internal vanes are plastic so the temperature might be a problem. Salt water shouldn't be a factor as long as it's rinsed with fresh water afterwards. Good luck.

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, 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.

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 bought this for my husband, he said you may use it in saltwater as long as you flush it out with fresh water after each use.

I'm not sure, but it is a quality Stainless unit. I would have no problem using it in salt water.

If you are asking about using it in a saltwater aquarium, I would not recommend it. I bought for my saltwater tank and realized it has metal parts. I ended up finding a completely pvc flapper valve to use instead.

Although its not recommended, you can use in salt water as long as you rinse all the metal componets after use with freshwater. You must take off the prop and spray water in there to make sure te metal doesnt rust. Ive use my 45lb minn kota over 20 times in the salt water and rinse it after and she still works fine rust free.

I have use it for both fresh and salt water. Have landed fish fiften to twenty pounds. As long as you do not try and horse them in it works well. Its only limitation is the weight used. I do not use anything heavier than 2 oz.

I've used it in saltwater and it's still in good shape - just give it a thorough freshwater rinsing afterwards.

I have this installed for my fresh water wash down option on my 21' Seapro...It worked in a Salt Water environment all last season but I don't know about its actual use for saltwater.

I have only used it in freshwater, but don't see why it wouldn't work in saltwater. There is only a small bit of metal shaft that holds the propellers, and if rust is a concern than rinse it off after use. It will get wet inside during use, so have paper towel inside to absorb.

We bought ours to use in salt water, we have only had it three months, so far so good.
