We use ours in Galveston Bay it has great definition and we can see the floor of the bay very well. We are still learning how to use it because of the many features but we are happy we have it..

They are fine for light saltwater fishing and will hold up to the saltwater (IF) you clean them off when you are done. Saltwater will cause corrosion on just about any metal. It is wise to clean even the finest of saltwater gear.

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 :-/

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!

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

I live on the Gulf coast. The maps provided with my unit have all the charts for my local salt water areas. Physically the unit is built fine. It can be used in any environment.

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.

Hi Pat, they are SS and they work well in salt water. I use them only in the ocean and no issues. I recommend them.

Honestly I'm not sure. I've got it on a fresh-water lake. The mechanism underneath is a steel bar with plastic paddles and plastic rudder, so it may work alright in salt water if you take it out after use and oil the steel parts periodically.

I've used mine in saltwater since the day I bought it. That was almost a year ago. I just rinse it very well when I get home. This motor works perfectly on my little skiff!

It works well in brackish water, I rewired the unit into my existing fuse panel. No problems with the unit.
