Is this item compatible with seawater? Is the telescoping material stainless steel?

Yes, suitable for marine use....keep waterproof dielectric marine grease on the fittings to prevent corrosion.

I do not think so. I think there is a product called Biospira that is the saltwater equivalent. Not 100% sure though. I would do further research.

The hummingbird works especially well how did Galveston Bay. You will have absolutely no problem using this in salt water. You will be quite impressed by this fishfinders ability.

Should be great, just rinse it off and wipe it down if you take it scuba diving and it should last for years. I am not sure but believe the hardware is probably stainless, the quality is good.

It is 100% stainless steel, but I really don't know which model it is. I use it strictly in fresh water; not sea water.

I have not exposed this item to seawater so I cannot comment from experience. Stainless steel comes in many grades, some are more resistant to corrosion in seawater than others. There is no indication regarding the type of stainless used, so you are better off going with the brass or plastic offerings.

It is very strong and lightweight. Seems to be made from stainless steel and aluminum but I don't know for sure. We use it in rocks and mud. I think it would be fine in salt water, maybe rinse it off after with fresh water.

Its not going to be durable enough. Stainless needs to be in contact with air to be free of rust.I would try a silicone wax first like nufinish. Its inexpensive. Some types of stainless dont like to be underwater for days or weeks because of the carbon content of SS. Wax will help. Good luck.

It is made of a high quality stainless steel. It will not rust when wet under most conditions. However it is not made of the type of stainless steel from which Nautical Equipment is made. I would not suggest that this item be exposed to a highly corrosive environment (such as the salt water of the sea) for a lengthy period of time.

No! This knife is made of carbon steel and will rust. There are other versions of this same knife such as this one (http://www.amazon.com/Mora-Companion-Stainless-Steel-Fixed/dp/B004ZAIXSC/ref=pd_sim_sg_8 ) in stainless that would be much better suited for use around salt water.

No, this reel can corrode, its made of aluminum components that will react with saltwater and will crust.You need to spend the money and buy a reel that has stainless steel parts for the saltwater.

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's stainless and saltwater safe but dragging it through the sand might be a bit difficult. They are bicycle tires. It's great for fields and docks...

You are correct. The spring is stainless although it is lightly responsive to magnetism and the spring retainer is a higher grade of stainless. We have been using the sensor in a salt water environment for almost a year without negative consequence.

it appears to be stainless, however there are different grades of stainless and some are not suited for a marine environment.. In this case I would not recommend this product for you.. brass, galvanized metal, plastic or resin will last longer or be cheaper to replace yearly.
