will this valve survive use in salt water?

If you are asking about using it in a saltwater aquarium, I would not recommend it. I bought for my saltwater tank and realized it has metal parts. I ended up finding a completely pvc flapper valve to use instead.

It is. The casing resists salt air corrosion. But, it functions just as well in fresh water too.

Minn Kota makes a line that is designed for SeaWater. From my understanding, the propeller parts are designed to withstand the corrosive that salt does to a typical motor which this one is NOT designed to do. I wouldn't risk it.

I had mine more than 2 years now and I guess it should be fine. It works fine underwater. So without using it should not compromise it's function.

We use ours in fresh water, so dont know hpw it would last in salt water. If they would get the on&off; coupler that goes with it to take out of water when not in use it will be fine. Its simple& fast to use. The ladder is great!

I do not know. I never take my boat to salt water. There are exposed metal plungers in the back on the front of the motor.

I have only used it in freshwater, but don't see why it wouldn't work in saltwater. There is only a small bit of metal shaft that holds the propellers, and if rust is a concern than rinse it off after use. It will get wet inside during use, so have paper towel inside to absorb.

Thanks for your inquiry. To keep the item long life, we do not recommend you use the item in salt water.

Can't say definitively since I've not used in this environment, but as a chemist I'd see no reason why the hull material should be affected by salt water for several years.

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

Yes, it can be used for salt water, it has sealed bearings. Just rinse it off with fresh water after you use it.

Salt water will corrode the components as stated in the manual. I havent tried

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`m using mine in saltwater and it seems to be working well. Of course I clean it with fresh water after each use.

I have used it in salt water, and yes it does rust. It also prevents the top part from unscrewing so I have to buy a new one. Not waterproof.

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

Ytolyccuz, I'm a technical diver, I have brought this with an underwater camera to as deep as 100ft in the sea, till today it's solid and no hints of rust, I have had this for over 5 years now, and it's still going strong. However, I suggest, that like anything that has been in the sea, put it in fresh water as soon as you can, dont let the salt dry on it.
