Will it rust in a coastal saltwater environment?

Mine didn't rust in the humid Dallas environment, but that's not a coastal one. Stainless steel is highly resistant to rust, but it is possible with constant exposure to salt water spray. That said, I don't think that any grill is better than the Weber in this regard.

No rust, however if the water is hard in your area you could possible see hard water calcuim build up on the portion that is the the water line. Remeber with this unit make sure you unplug it while still in the water, wait a couple of second the take it out. Mine shows a bit of melting on the portion that the plastic meets the metal props (just a little) because i tend to leave it in the water for longer than usual.

I think they would perform fine in that situation. Just keep an eye out for corrosion. Salt water can corrode things that you wouldn't believe it could.

Yes. Absolutely. You will need to rinse it off with fresh water. As you know salt water will corrode it if it is not cleaned after each use.MarineHQ

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.

I have had no issues, if you cut acidic fruits or leave it in salt water and never clean it it will rust

Ytolyccuz, I'm a technical diver, I have brought this with an underwater camera to as deep as 100ft in the sea, till today it's solid and no hints of rust, I have had this for over 5 years now, and it's still going strong. However, I suggest, that like anything that has been in the sea, put it in fresh water as soon as you can, dont let the salt dry on it.

I've kept mine outside for over a year...no rust whatsoever! Although I live in California and it doesn't rain much here either! :)

Ive had mine for a year now but don't live in a salty area. However I never cover it and have yet to have a problem. If you keep it covered when not in use you shoul be okay. Not all the parts are stainless steel so over time I'm sure they will rust. A helpful hint. Ash of any kind when mixed with water or any moister will cause rust. Cean the inside on a regular bases and lay a little stainless polish on it from time to time and you should be okay.

No! This knife is made of carbon steel and will rust. There are other versions of this same knife such as this one (http://www.amazon.com/Mora-Companion-Stainless-Steel-Fixed/dp/B004ZAIXSC/ref=pd_sim_sg_8 ) in stainless that would be much better suited for use around salt water.

I don't think it will rust. We leave ours assembled and don't dusmantle it every time so that may overall help prolong the life of the rack too.

yes, Don't let that deter your purchase. Being in a wet environment it will not rust or corrode.

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

Mine stays outside and is holding up well. But only have had it for 6 mo. No corrosion or rust. I believe it comes with a 10 year guarantee against that.

We live in Florida, so it is humid here too. So far it has not rusted at all. It is working out for me.

It doesn't rust, but the color/shine did fade a bit. I have had mine for over a year

Yes. Just make sure that you rinse it off and dry it when you're done. The water will oxidize the metal and cause it to rust if you leave it wet outside of the water.
