I didnt test yet. But its light. You can take it with you and wash it everytime. To live longer

It is a great generic trolling motor, like the big brands. Will the paint and finish last more than a short while in Salt water... Probably no.. But not many will - unless they say they will - and then they still might not. not. Mine is left outside on my boat (fresh water) in the rain and sun and not much problem. I do not want to bring it in and out. Too much work. Otherwise, great so far....

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 :-/

I'm not sure how it is in salt water. What I can tell you is that you have to have a very deep tank and that the motor is prone to failing and leaking everywhere! I would not recommend this product or this brand. The company is not helpful at all.

I can't see any reason why it wouldn't be safe to use in salt water. It is a totally sealed unit. I am running mine in a tank with anti-freeze in it.If you know anything about anti-freeze and plastics, it tends to get thru any low quality seal. I have had no problems in that area. Tank seals leak, but not the pump.Hope this helps.

Yes, it certainly does filter contaminants from sea water. However, it does not desalinate seawater, so you would not be able to drink it.

This is constructed of steel. Most of it is powder coated, however some will be exposed steel, which overtime will rust. Salt water would be issue over a period of time.

Yes. We have a salt water pool. We love this thing! It has taken all the worry out of keeping our pool full.

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

I am not sure what the specs say but I don't see any reason why it can't be used with salt water. All of the electrical components are pretty well sealed as far as I can tell. It is a brushless motor so there is no need for a seal that is going to wear out either. It's pretty cheap and worth a try. Jordan

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

Don't know but I've been using it in salt water last year without any problems.

Also, technically, it's made out of salts, which is exactly what you use to soften your water. So, considering that, you definitely shouldn't have any trouble. ;)

Although I have never used it in a salt water application (I use mine to determine how much FRESH water I put in my RV's holding tank) my LIMITED research doesn't show that it can't be used for salt water (sorry about the double negative). One question asked about using the device for HEATED (90°C) salt water, which was recommended against; however, I believe that was a TEMPERATURE recommendation, not a water type recommendation. Like anything else, I think you would need to flush the meter out when your done so the salt doesn't dry inside the system. Good luck!

Have not read anything that said it was for one type of water or another. Considering how it works I do not see how it could harm your salt environment, but you may want to check with the company who makes these to be on the safe side.

Salt water and carbon steel is a bad combination. Stainless steel would serve you better in a salt water environment.
