Can you use it in salt water or on a salt water beach

Its says you can I've never tried it but if something would go wrong with the detector Garrett has the best customer service I have ever had to deal with hands down.

I have used it many times in Cocoa Beach area. it has been in shallow waters and sands etc.. It needs to be rinsed each time after being in salt water so .commonsense. I also suggest before purchasing watch the manufacturer's manual and information on YouTube.

The beach will be completely safe. If you use it in the water, fresh or salt, keep the controls above the water. I would recommend rinsing the coil and shaft with fresh clean water after use in salt water. Good hunting.

Yes you can but its not the best in that environment. You would ground balance and drop the sensitivity down a bit but your depth will suffer. It will NOT beat a PI (pulse induction) detector or a multiple freq machine like a Minelab CTX3030 in that regard. It IS however an exceptional machine other wise. Just know that it suffers a bit when in actual salt water or wet (salt water laden) sand. It is excellent in fresh water however. -- I have both an AT Pro and a CTX 3030 but I only have the CTX 3030 mostly for my beach detecting.

Yes, it's fine for the beach but less effective in salt water than an "inductive pulse" type detector, such as the Garrett Infinium LS, or Sea Hunter models which features a "salt elimination" setting that eliminates the mineralization of salt water. Inductive pulse machines are best for heavily mineralized soil and salt water conditions, but the cost is about double that of the AT Pro. I plan to buy an inductive pulse machine next, when I can afford it. A must have for surf hunting.

You can use it in salt water and on the beach, BUT it does not react well. The detector picks up the mineralization from the salt, and you will hear a constant chatter. If you are only going to be detecting beaches, I suggest looking for a beach detector.

Yes but u must turn the sensitivity way down or it will go bonkers in the saltwater.

Although I have never used it in a salt water application (I use mine to determine how much FRESH water I put in my RV's holding tank) my LIMITED research doesn't show that it can't be used for salt water (sorry about the double negative). One question asked about using the device for HEATED (90°C) salt water, which was recommended against; however, I believe that was a TEMPERATURE recommendation, not a water type recommendation. Like anything else, I think you would need to flush the meter out when your done so the salt doesn't dry inside the system. Good luck!

Personally i don't think this knife is meant to be taken into salt water. You probably could, but i think there are better options out there.

I never used it on salt, but I'm sure if you wash it after you use it do that the salt doesn't start to eat away at it you'll be fine. I've seen people on inflatable kayaks in salt before and they didn't seem to have an issue.

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 would think you could use it with salt water since all internal working parts that the salt water can come into contact with is plastic.

I don't know if it can be used as a flotation device in the ocean. I have never submerged it in salt water. I don't think I would buy it or use it for that purpose at the risk of damaging it when proper flotation devices could be purchased for much cheaper.

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

We used ours at the beach, if you can stake it down fairly well (not just in sand), it does pretty well.

I really don't know. I think it should run fine in salt water but unless you clean it VERY GOOD I would expect it to corrode very quickly making it useless. I I reeally don't know how you might clean it sufficiently.

Hello Terry O. -- It certainly can be used in salt water. My wife bought me the reel and I'm very impressed by the fact they are of Hardy quality through and through. The ability to change spools with differnt types of sinking to floating line may it a great choice fo kayak fishing where you might have only one rod and can change lines for varying conditions. GKJPSYou may want to look at the 7/8/9 wt reel for salt water though. I use mine for fresh water stripers in Lake Texoma.

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'm sure you could use it on the beach. We personally took it to the pool on a beach vacation but never took it in the ocean. (The waves may give you some problems) It is relatively compact when broken down and is pretty easy to travel with.

I have used a couple for years in the ocean because I live near saltwater, so if they can take those conditions, i'm sure freshwater won't hurt.

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

Ive been using it in salt water since I bought it and had no problems at all. I think the product itself doesnt specify wether its waterproof or not. What I do is that everytime I finish using it, I extend it to 39" and dry it with a towel (youll have to do that about 3 times before put it away in your backpack). I also recommend to pour some fresh water on it after shooting in saltwater On the other hand, remember that the Wifi remote is completely waterproof, so dont be afraid to take some shots underwater.

It is very strong and lightweight. Seems to be made from stainless steel and aluminum but I don't know for sure. We use it in rocks and mud. I think it would be fine in salt water, maybe rinse it off after with fresh water.
