will this work on the ocean?? I mean on salt water

Yes, I use mine in the ocean all the time. I have two ocean kayaks and I rarely use them anymore. It's so much easier to transport the sevylor. I highly recommend buying the "skeg" when using the kayak in oceans and lakes. The skeg also helps in rivers, but the skeg can present problems with boulders, rocks, branches and debris in a river. The skeg helps to keep the kayak tracking in a straight line. The inflatable seats are pretty useless. I use small canvas folding stadium type chairs instead and secure them to the kayak with rope.

yes it will work on the ocean but it does not do well in wind, so I would not recommend it for ocean going.

I have actually made it out to Mokulua (Google it), islet 3/4 mile off Lanikai; also made the "Hilton Landing to Diamond Head" run and back (6 - 8 mile round trip, depending if you go around Diamond Head or not). You NEED the skeg, and some cooperation from currents, ESPECIALLY THE WIND. Bring a patch kit and prepare to anchor off if you have to (if you spring a leak), but I wouldn't suggest going too far out. Be mindful of the currents and really think to yourself, "can I make it back" after 2-3+ hours of paddling.

Sure! During fairly calm weather it should be great. Do you have the skeg? Very useful.

I have not tried it in the ocean, but I bet it works! I LOVE mine. I read the respond of another user--and I agree that you need to rinse it well and dry it. Actually drying it well is a good idea-- regardless where you use it. Have fun with it.

I'm not sure, but it is a quality Stainless unit. I would have no problem using it in salt water.

I don't think it can run in salt water. The reason I say this is that it must be in the water for it to start. The water goes through an internal cooling/power system and I don't think salt water would be good for it. I would contact the manufacturer directly to make sure this is true or not.

Works great in chlorine pool, not sure about salt water, when actually working.

Works greain the water great land. But does not work to good on wet salt beachs but fine on dry sand.

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.

I have not received my heat pump yet but I'm told it will work on salt water. The heat exchanger is actually titanium not copper

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.

According to Garmin manual it can be used in salt water, but the depth range drops to 600ft range. The range is salinity dependent. Hope this helps.

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.

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!

Unknown. if the windings are sealed it may work fine in 'clean' water (as opposed to saltwater). you would just have to give it a try.

Pam, I would not recommend this pole for the ocean, it is only for small fish...stick to small lakes and ponds with this pole!

No it isn't suited for use in or around salt water. It's a very durable unit and all that but the conductivity of saltwater requires a detector designed to handle that application specifically. I have used mine on the beaches around where I live. That must be above the tide line in soil and rocky areas well above the brackish water table and it works well for that. As soon as you find salt water within the detection limits of the unit you are bound to have problems.

Yes, but it would probably not be very beneficial if the surface is always touching salt water. This product is just a very heavy exterior coat, but not actually "permanent".

I am not sure if this can be used for salt water pool check. I recommend searching for "salt water test strips". I think you would want to check for sodium chloride levels which this product does not check for.
