Can this boat run in salt water?

We have used ours in saltwater, but don't forget to give it a good rinse afterwards!

When it worked it was easy enough for my 5 year old to use. The problem I have with it is the first one I bought worked once then locked in full throttle and melted the wires during the second use. I bought another and it failed to work the first time out. I wouldn't know how salt water would affect it. I don't recommend anyone purchase this boat.

I really don't know. I think it should run fine in salt water but unless you clean it VERY GOOD I would expect it to corrode very quickly making it useless. I I reeally don't know how you might clean it sufficiently.

I can only answer for an older boat - it worked very well. If you have oxidation, I'd say yes.

It can be used in salt water but does do a very good job of cleaning and a pain to get in and out of pool. Went back to Polaris within two months

Sail on a sail boat? Not sure if that application would be the best for these.....you will probably want something heavier duty and salt water friendly

I installed mine 2years ago and it has run with no problems. I normally run it all the time the boat is in operation.

I have no exprerience with salt water. I would read marketing materials or contact manufacturer..Good luck...

I have it hooked up to a 1 HP motor and have an Ionizer system to help reduce the need of chorine. Do not think there should be any problem using salt water as the tubing is plastic and will not oxidize. Have not filled the started the heater as yet, as I am stilling in the finishing stages. Am pumped about the system; will inform once it is operational and am swimming in upstream in warm water.

Yes; it has a nicely applied protective coating similar to hot-dipped zinc galvanization. There are no bearings in the wheels to freeze up and the wheels themselves are heavy duty plastic, so they don't corrode. Since it folds up out of the way when not in use, it might not even get wet when you launch. My boat is only used in salt water, and this jack is holding up very well with only a quick fresh water rinse after each use.

This pump can be used in fresh or saltwater. I currently use it in saltwater.

I have never used it in salt water, I suppose it could be used, my first thought would be the same as fishing reels. When I use rods and reels in salt water I always make an effort to clean and flush with fresh water prior to storing them. The metal frame would certainly be exposed to salt water, and would rust if neglected. The pontoons would fair much better, but would clean them as well after use in salt water.

Sorry, ours didn't work out of the box, so we sent it back for a refund. I bought it as a beginner boat for my son and we planned on using it in salt water, just be sure to rinse it with fresh water after each use. That was our intention, but never got to try it out. Sorry, but hope that helps.

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.

It could work for a boat . But this isn't a marine amp . So you would need to install it in a place that won't get wet at all.

Yes, I have used mine in both salt and fresh water. I just rinse it off good after use in salt water! This has been a great trolling motor.

Yes. Suitable for all applications.You get salt water in them from roads in the North!!!
