Is this motor rated for salt water?

I doubt it. We have just used it behind the original inflatable boat it came with in a small lake.

I am using it in salt water for two years, so far it is OK .I don't know what the correct answer is. Good luck

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 have never used it in a salt water environment. Since there are no metal parts I don't see how it woiuld rust. The double action is fantastic and the unit is very durable

The motor is water resistant, but not designed to be outside exposed to the elements year round. The rest of the unit will be just fine outside under all conditions.

It would be fine,I have it on a 37 gallon salt water also and it has done an excellent job for the last year, just do your maintenance.

I have used it in brackish water and fresh water. It may be too light for heavier salt water use. I consider it as light tackle. Good action and lightweight. Good for casting extended periods. materials in rod would hold up to salt water environment.

The manufacturer has an optional drive (pedal) assembly available that is intended for use in salt water environments. They publish no statements regarding the use of the Minn Kota motor assembly in salt water - you should inquire directly with the manufacturer. Try a Google search on "water wheeler asl salt water" for more information.

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.

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.

Yes, I would never use this in saltwater, also I would not use it for anything bigger than Bluegill or Sunfish if you want it to last, its just not a quality piece.

I haven't had any corrosion from my salt water pool. However, I do rinse the aquabot regularly & take it out of the pool when not in use.

Pump housing is cast aluminum alloy, and it does handle salt brine. We bought it to use on our sailboat in case of an emergency. It definitely handles the salt water.

I have used it in salt water (i.e. South China Sea). After use I immediately flush it (run in bucket with fresh water for 10 min) to prevent internal corrosion. So far so good.But please note, I use the outboard as an emergency engine and not for everyday use. Hope this helps.

This model is a light duty spinning reel. It is meant for small game fish like bluegills, crappie, small bass or trout. I don't know how well it would stand up to salt water use. My guess is that since it is a modestly priced reel, the internal parts are not brass or stainless steel which would resist corrosion. I don't know how large corbina are so I can't say if this reel is adequate. I would consider a reel specifically made for saltwater use.
