Can this unit be used in saltwater, does it have the full transducer kit and does it have a speedometer built in?

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.

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.

can be used in saltwater has full transducer kit, but I don't remember there be a speedometer reading.

Works well in Salt water and there are no metal parts exposed. Comes with the Transducer. Gives you speed, depth, water temp, track followed, saves your history, etc.. It's really great to get back to where you started in unfamiliar waters. That is the best and most important thing to me. I love it.

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

Yes. If you want to use while motoring, Marcum also sells a high speed transducer that attaches to the transom of your boat. I purchased my unit in January and have not had a chance to use in open water...yet.

Yes it comes withal transducer and a 20 foot cable. I have a 17.6 foot boat and had plenty of length after running the cable from my to dash to the back of boat. The angle and location of mounting the transducer is very important so u don't get extra distortion readings on ur lowrance unit.

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.

This model is a discontinued GPS only. Transducers to be effective and usable should have the face in the water not inside the hull.

Hi, It has water temp but not speed. You might be able to buy a speed sensor but I'm not 100%.

Yes, it can be used for salt water, it has sealed bearings. Just rinse it off with fresh water after you use it.

Yes it's a good fish finder comes with speed odometer built-in and has a few fish ID's well worth it. I have a 22 foot Jetcraft and I really like it. I also purchased a Lowerance 7 inch screen it's a good buy also if you want to spend a few more dollars it's a good one also.

The z03 can be saltwater fished....HOWEVER, I would strongly recommend a huge fresh water shower afterwards. You will notice a change in performance very quickly if you do not keep the salt from sitting...even overnight! Just got back from the coast with 3. Gave them several good baths but still believe I can feel where I did not get the salt out. It's doable, but perhaps not recommended.

Yes . I have a salt water pool and this thing is the single best device I ever bought for my pool..still ticking

Will not detect well or at all in wet saltwater sand or in saltwater, as it is too conductive. Highly mineralized ground or "black sand" as they call it may also give it fits as it does most metal detectors. You can't ground balance the unit properly to stop it from chirping away or "falsing" under these conditions. See my recent review. Hope this helps.....

Yes. It has a cable that you can run down to either wheel (the rear is easier to hide the cable) and a set of magnets that you attach to the wheel. When the magnets rotate past the sensor on the wire, it gives the speedometer your speed. The more magnets you use, the faster your signal.

Yes yes and if you are mounting it on the bottom of a boat yes. It comes with bracket and screws for transducer and mount with screws for unit.

The answer is between probably not and definitely not. The cabling and the battery are all inside the 'Weatherproof' case. The unit itself may be waterproof but the connections (wires to transducer and battery) would not be happy submerged in saltwater. If the whole thing took a dunk you would want to wash it all off with freshwater and check everything. Too much time if it happens every trip. I would opt for something more self contained.

mine doesn't have a transducer - is this a part that comes with the motor or for a depth finder that you have in addition to the motor? I wired my depth finder to the opposite end of the boat from the bow mount motor.

Yes, the Lowrance Elite series will work in salt water to depths of 1000 ft. It has a dual frequency transducer; 200kHz for depths to 100 ft and 83kHz for deeper water. You have to go into menus to change frequencies manually. Its a great unit.

It comes with 83/200 transducer.. Im using it depths reaching more than 60 fts and still working nicely.. But im not really depending on the fish finder for fishing.
