how well would this hold up in a freshwater environment? I plan on using it on a jet ski in about 3"X12" flat strips above water line.

My experience is that the 3M product will do very well. It's very sticky. After you put it on, use a hair blower to warm it up and wait about 5 minutes to cool. It should do exceptionally well even under water.

My husband hasn't used it yet, put a 20lb test line and is confident it will hold. Our waters are still very cold but he can't wait to put it to use.

Definitely. I have only used it for saltwater but it would serve well in freshwater too.

I'm pretty sure it is described as being for wet, outside use. I bought it for my jetski trailer which is outside 24/7. So far it works very well and I think is guaranteed for life.

I found it to be very durable. It held up for the second year. No rips or damage yet. I only use it in the pool. As for a river run or linking to others, I'm not sure but probably not.

I believe it would stay pretty well. The adhesive is strong. I use it primarily for gripping on smooth polymer /plastic surface and haven't had it fail on me yet. Additionally, I trust it to hold in all manner of situations... Including rain/wet.

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.

Hi there I would call it highly water-RESISTANT not necessarily waterproof. It does meet the IP67 waterproofing standard at level 5:Water jets Water projected by a nozzle (6.3 mm) against enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effects. Test duration: at least 3 minutesWater volume: 12.5 litres per minutePressure: 30 kPa at distance of 3 m....So for most normal use by recreational boaters on the water, you should be fine.Cheers,ScottMaple Leaf GPS

I dont remember off hand it was real thin but it would be perfect for a john boat no bigger than 15' or a jet ski. I bought it with intention of using on a trailer for a 24' deck boat. I noticed this carpet was to then and returned it for a full refund.

may want to be careful of what river/creeks you might use it on. Small pebbles and smooth rocks aren't a problem, but if you continuously use it on a river/creek with jagged rocks, you'll end up tearing through the rubber. Plug you run a very high risk of losing the fin on the bottom. Better to use it on a lake without any chance of really rubbing it along the bottom - not really a river/creek kayak

It would absolutely survive a river run. There are some sturdy loops you can use to connect this to others. We've had one for about 7 years now and use it heavily for lounging out in the lake all summer long. It's faded and worn looking, but structurally great. It's the "anchor" for our flotilla too. We connect an anchor and 2 to 5 more floats to it. It's awesome!

the amp is water resistant but not water proof so if you install on a jet ski try to make sure the amp stays dry. Ive gone through 2 of these since teh amp keeps getting soaked.

It's small, maybe a foot or so long. I run it in my pool with the pump running so there is some chop in the water and it does fine. In a lake I think it would do fine as long as the waves/chop isn't over 4 inches or so.

I use it on a combination of pavement and dirt/pine needles/grass. You need more muscle in the dirt but the tires are plenty big enough and easy to manuver. I would expect it to work in grass just fine. Be prepared to use more strength though. My boat is 3500 lbs as a reference. 20 ft open bow fiberglass.

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

I used it on the bottom of my aluminum pram (boat) so it would protect it and slide over rocks.It is slippery and you could add sand in my opinion for traction. Good luck

I'm sure it will work fine for freshwater. Not too many freshwater species that will require this big of reel.
