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 it at a camp in the salt water marsh but use it for a cistern pump. I have a similar one on my boat for wash down but am sure it has all stainless hardware. This would get buy but unless you change out the bolts to stainless it wont last but a few years at best.

I just asked my marine plumbing guy - he said 'in a pinch' but don't expect years out of it. You should always buy a 'raw water' pump or pump specified for 'Salt' if you want it to last.

Honestly I'm not sure. I've got it on a fresh-water lake. The mechanism underneath is a steel bar with plastic paddles and plastic rudder, so it may work alright in salt water if you take it out after use and oil the steel parts periodically.

Yes, I have used mine in both salt and fresh water. I just rinse it off good after use in salt water! This has been a great trolling motor.

I know nothing about salt water - but I have a 55 gal fresh water setup with a home made undergravel filter - just PVC pipes and the Cobalt Power head. It's been running for a few months now and I have not done anything with the tank or water and it's perfectly clear and the fish seem to be happy. So it works great for my setup.

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.

I never tried it in salt water, but I tried it in all kinds of fresh water and it wasn't worth putting on your line. In all different kinds of water(deep ,shallow,brush, whatever I never got one hit. Worthless!!

Have used this in fresh water only,,but would think it would be a good idea to rinse after salt water use to avoid rusting.

I have never used it in salt water, I suppose it could be used, my first thought would be the same as fishing reels. When I use rods and reels in salt water I always make an effort to clean and flush with fresh water prior to storing them. The metal frame would certainly be exposed to salt water, and would rust if neglected. The pontoons would fair much better, but would clean them as well after use in salt water.

I am not using it for salt water. I don,t think in respect at the way it is built that it would perform well for a long time in salt water. But for my use it is a very good reel.

I have not used it in saltwater. I think it is aluminum and plastic. I personally would want something beefier for saltwater. I think a little salt might gum it up. Hopefully someone will weigh in with first hand knowledge. It is a good product for its price point. Fly shop folks do not recommend it for saltwater.

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

It is made out of Stainless Steel so yes it is made for salt water. It will not rust and is of a standard size for most if not all fishing rods.
