We've used it in our saltwater pool and it seems fine so far. We have not used it in/near the ocean, though.

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.

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.

We have used ours in saltwater, but don't forget to give it a good rinse afterwards!

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

It does not say that on the box but the sheath is plastic and the knife is entirely coated. I believe any knife is waterproof and saltwater resistant so long as you are willing to clean and dry it after each use in said condition.

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.

Yes, it is water proof up until where you plug the cord into the box. I've used mine in the water at the beach with no problems.

We have salt water and no problems yet. It's been in the water about half a year.

This is constructed of steel. Most of it is powder coated, however some will be exposed steel, which overtime will rust. Salt water would be issue over a period of time.

It is sealed so salt water should not be an issue. I also use in sot kayak. I bought a plastic container slightly larger than the battery. I put industrial grade Velcro on the bottom of the box and kayak bottom so the battery is contained and the wire connections to the battery are protected. The box is for holding the battery not for waterproofing. It is easy to remove for charging but stays secure and protected.

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, when properly installed it has proven to be completely water proof both when providing power to an accessory or when closed and not in use. This is an outstanding product as far as I'm concerned.

Yes. Absolutely. You will need to rinse it off with fresh water. As you know salt water will corrode it if it is not cleaned after each use.MarineHQ

I do not see any reason why it would not work with saltwater due to no bearings to worry about and everything s plated or painted. All in all its a great unit to have. I liked it so well i now have 2 of them. One on each end of the boat.

Just make sure you rinse it off when used in either. Have used mine in saltwater multiple times with no problems.
