How does it standup in salt water usage?

I installed it 6 months ago and it has worked flawlessly. It is designed to pump salt water which it does well, but I wouldn't expose it externally to salt or fresh water.

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.

Have not had I need at ball games and action events.it in any water yet. I would also like to know if it can hold up to salt water. Works great out of water and gets the angle and height I need for ball games and action events. Good quality and made very stable and appears like it would be fine in the water if the metal is aluminum or stainless steel, but nothing in the provided paper work states that. Hope this helps a bit.

With mine a salt water pump came with it and it is salt water. Wonderful for not doing much to it, I sold on salt water pools now.

I recently bought it , I only used twice in salt water. One of the two sections is sealed ,the other one is open and allows the water to get in , but you can easily rinse it after diving ..The material and the painting looks very strong and durable. My first impression is very good.

The motor is not built for salt water. That being said, when I use it for salt water I simply flush it out in fresh water directly afterward. I will clean it completely and rinse it very thoroughly. I have never had a problem.

No problem with saltwater. Just make sure you keep any salt evaporation on the leds to a minimum.

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

Salt water is where I am using my bag and have seen no rust in the time since purchased the bag { 2 months } after a fishing trip, I rinse everything with fresh water.

It has metal on the bottom that touches the water. This metal tends to rust quickly. Eventhough I keep it dry between uses. Not sure if it's a product defect or because I live close to the ocean --

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.

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

I don't use it in salt water. I am not sure if it is compatible or not. Recommend you check Minn Kota website.

I have taken it to the Pacific quiet a few times and it handled quiet well,even the water seemed rather choppy. It's pretty stable.

I use it on my kayak , gets lots of saltwater splashed on it , rinse off with fresh water after use and kept in container with mini dehumidifier in it to remove moisture.

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 :-/
