Is it water proof? Can it be used in salt water?

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.

Yes the pole is water proof. I wouldn't recommend using in water though as it will quickly sink. As with any GoPro accessories rinse and wipe after use in salt water and everything should be fine.

Panasonic says it can be used in salt water, but we used ours only one time underwater, snorkeling at about 6 to 8 feet (and rinsed it afterwards), and within a few weeks the battery ground connector was so badly corroded the camera no longer would turn on. Trying to contact Panasonic support now, but their automated "help" system is a joke.

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 didn't try it yet but it doesn't look like waterproof, the material seems pretty cheep so I believe easily can be damage by salt water

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.

It's great for saltwater! The only issue I have had is that you get water inside the prop housing. Not a huge deal, I just remove the prop after each outing and clean the housing

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.

I can't see any reason why it wouldn't be safe to use in salt water. It is a totally sealed unit. I am running mine in a tank with anti-freeze in it.If you know anything about anti-freeze and plastics, it tends to get thru any low quality seal. I have had no problems in that area. Tank seals leak, but not the pump.Hope this helps.

I have been using mine for a year now in salt water here in south florida. It has held up very nicely thus far.

Why certainly it can be operated in salt water as well as brackish water. Be prepared for earlier motor failure as well as other water contacted part failure. It is not specificly designed to operate in salt, but will operate in water no less. They do leak and water does get inside, then the corrosion will begin.

It can be used in salt water but does do a very good job of cleaning and a pain to get in and out of pool. Went back to Polaris within two months

I would say yes. I use it in a salt water swimming pool, but have not used it in the ocean. The device is sealed and should not let in any water, salt or otherwise. If you are worried about effect of salt remaining on the surface and drying out there, wash it off after use. Additionally, the instructions coming with the device do not contraindicate use in salt water.

It can but the one for salt water has different seal that can handle the salt if you rinse it aff after use in salt water it would be ok

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 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.

well I had it on the boat with me in Canada and for 2 straight days it rained nonstop, even though it stayed in its case the screen and and entire unit did get wet and I had no problems with it. I dont know how salt water will be but no problem with fresh water.
