How well will it hold up in salt water?

Got it as a present for my Dad for his boat last year for night fishing, and he has had no problems.

I use my Gobee light purely for late night runs in and out the saltwater marshes for shrimp baiting season Sept-Nov. I have had my light for 2 years now and it still performs flawlessly. After each use I take the light and place it back in its storage bag(that it comes with) with the remote and put it under the seat in the boat. I stays there in between shrimping outings and during the offseason. I usually spray a little WD40 on the connection points at the base of the pole once or twice during the season but thats it. Over all, I have been extremely pleased with this light! Would buy again in a min. I use my Gobee light purely for late night runs in and out the saltwater marshes for shrimp baiting season Sept-Nov.

very durable, not sure if it would survive a river run, we only use it in our swimming pool.

Sorry, for the late response. I will confirm it will sit in shallow water however, not sure if the salt water be harsh on the outer mechanisms. Moreover, it's hard cast iron I would reach to Zoeller regarding the salt water which could destroy most things if exposed for long periods. I hope this helps but performance wise GREAT!!!

It will float, yes. I really doubt the salt will affect it much more than, say, the dirt from floating it in a pond. I suppose it could shorten the lifespan a bit. It should be fine.

I have snorleled with the pole 5 times and no rust or corrosion. So I believe it is OK for the water and I plan to continue using it both in and out of the water.

As long as you clean it after exposure to saltwater you should be fine. GoPro doesn't mention the material used, but is seems to be a molded plastic.

I haven't used mine in the Ocean, only on a river with a strong current. It's a very stable boat and unlikely to turtle, but the tracking isn't the best so if there's a current it'll be a challenge to manoeuvre it. The rubber is very sturdy and should withstand the salt water. But I'm not sure how it would handle in stronger currents.

Yes but make sure that it's not where it'll won't get drowned with salt water

It's pretty good, as long as it's not submerged in it. For example if it's raining and for some reason you take your keys out, it will hold up.

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.

I think they would perform fine in that situation. Just keep an eye out for corrosion. Salt water can corrode things that you wouldn't believe it could.

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've used this for a couple of months. I can't say how it will hold up in a salty environment, though. You'd probably need to it lubed with something. Also, it doesn't have inserts like the Kreg jigs so when they wear out, you need to replace the entire jig.

I am not sure what the specs say but I don't see any reason why it can't be used with salt water. All of the electrical components are pretty well sealed as far as I can tell. It is a brushless motor so there is no need for a seal that is going to wear out either. It's pretty cheap and worth a try. Jordan

I am sorry, I can't help to much with my answer because we've only used it in our pool and it works pretty good, but about salt water I really don't know. Sorry :-/

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.

Don't know but I've been using it in salt water last year without any problems.
