How is it with saltwater?

There was physical damage to the inside of the unit. The plastic shell was fine so the inside was broken before it was shipped. It would not suck up water or work at all. The OEM is a Chinese company that barely speaks English. I would not recommend this brand at all.

I dont have any saltwater tank none the less you can use it with salt water with no problem whatsoever.

I'm not sure how it is in salt water. What I can tell you is that you have to have a very deep tank and that the motor is prone to failing and leaking everywhere! I would not recommend this product or this brand. The company is not helpful at all.

Sorry very hard typing on my phone. But hopefully you understand. I love my salt water setup. I don't mess with any real chemicals.

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.

We used it in saltwater and just rinsed it afterword, let it sun dry and all is well. It did not move too much, but we were underwater so we did not shake it a lot. It would have been nice to have it a little longer, but other than that it was fine.

Yup! I've used it in salt water, fresh water, and chlorinated water without problems.

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.

I use it and seem to have no problems but I can't atest to the use in salt water. I should replace any filter sand.

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.

Not for saltwater use, you can use it but you got to clean it thoroughly. The inshore Abu's the less expensive ones are called the Orra's. The Orra so are not that much but made for saltwater ,hope this helps.

I am using it in a freshwater set up so I can confirm that the quality is excellent. I do not see why it would not also work well in a saltwater set up with glass.

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.

It holds up fine but like anything you put in salt water you want to wash off after use. Have fun!

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 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

I use mine in saltwater all the time, in the Gulf of Mexico. I try to heavily rise with freshwater after each use and shoot a little wd-40 in it. It's not as smooth as the day i bought it, but for an inexpensive combo it works fine.
