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

We use it in Florida on the ocean and it works great but if you are worried I suppose you could wash it with a hose afterwards

I agree with the other posters. Salt water is fine but I wouldn't take out in the ocean because the tracking isn't great and strong winds/currents = super heavy drag. Flatwater is best for the Sevylor. I have another inflatable, the AE Sport, and I wouldn't hesitate to take that out to sea tho I think the AE AF performs better on the open water. Hope that helps.

I think it would hold just fine just make sure to wash it off real good after

I don't think you'd have any issues with using this on salt water in regards to if the material could handle salt. However, I would NEVER take it out into the ocean or any place with excessive waves, swells, drifts or any turbulence. It has nearly no steering, especially without the skeg. We use it on some rough lake water occasionally but its a workout to get it moving. I would not recommend taking it out into the ocean unless you want to get lost at sea.

My wife and i used in in the bay of Corpus Christi without any problems. You will want good paddles and the skeg but yeah it will work.

I agree with Ellie, I would NEVER take it out on any body of water that has swells etc.

I never used it on salt, but I'm sure if you wash it after you use it do that the salt doesn't start to eat away at it you'll be fine. I've seen people on inflatable kayaks in salt before and they didn't seem to have an issue.

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

I used mine in the ocean and it did great! Although unless the water is super clear you won't be able to see anything.

Sorry, have not used it on the ocean. Does work well on relatively large lakes. It does catch a lot of wind. Works on the Columbia river pretty well until the wind came up.

I would think you could use it with salt water since all internal working parts that the salt water can come into contact with is plastic.

Yes, there would be no issue with using it with a salt water pool. The only thing would be that you would need to use a Scalewatcher 5 star unit due to the fact that it is outside. You cannot use the 3 star for outdoor use.

Yes, it's fine for the beach but less effective in salt water than an "inductive pulse" type detector, such as the Garrett Infinium LS, or Sea Hunter models which features a "salt elimination" setting that eliminates the mineralization of salt water. Inductive pulse machines are best for heavily mineralized soil and salt water conditions, but the cost is about double that of the AT Pro. I plan to buy an inductive pulse machine next, when I can afford it. A must have for surf hunting.

I imagine it would work in any pool. It's just checking for the chemicals present in the water. Shouldn't matter if it's salt water. You might email the manufacturer. I did a couple of years ago and they answered me right away.

I have not tried it on the deep salt water yet. I will be going deep salt water fishing in a couple of months.

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

I couldn't say if the pump would work in seawater. It would be worth a try as the pump is sealed up.

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 have not tried to use it in the ocean, but when you sit in it, the back works perfectly. I would imagine it would work in the ocean.

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!

Yes, but it will false in the wet salt water sand, unless you turn the sensitivity way down, which will reduce your depth to shallow surface finds. The coil will work in the shallow freshwater, just don't drop the detector or get the control box wet.

Nope this will not work with sea water you will actually mess up the device if you use sea water
