Is this for salt water use?

I use it in salt water, but I flush it out after every use. The owners manual recommends doing the same, so I assume they intend it to be used in salt water, I remove it from the boat after use and carry back to my garage after use and rinse/flush it.

I bought 3 months ago and have yet to use it as its still in the box. Just waiting for February to use and I will know for sure as I bought this to use in the nearby ocean. I live in bc.

No it is not designed for removing salt from sea water. That is a different style and much more expensive.

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.

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.

I have not used it in saltwater. I think it is aluminum and plastic. I personally would want something beefier for saltwater. I think a little salt might gum it up. Hopefully someone will weigh in with first hand knowledge. It is a good product for its price point. Fly shop folks do not recommend it for saltwater.

It is made out of Stainless Steel so yes it is made for salt water. It will not rust and is of a standard size for most if not all fishing rods.

I don't think you'd have any issues with using this on salt water in regards to if the material could handle salt. However, I would NEVER take it out into the ocean or any place with excessive waves, swells, drifts or any turbulence. It has nearly no steering, especially without the skeg. We use it on some rough lake water occasionally but its a workout to get it moving. I would not recommend taking it out into the ocean unless you want to get lost at sea.

The directions on the container say "use with your chlorine"... That being said, I don't know if they are compatible/useful in a saltwater system.

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

Can be used in salt or fresh water. If you use in salt water just rinse it off after use. Will last a lot longer for 30 seconds of work

Ours is submerged all the time 24/7, we use it as a sewage pump and it has worked great, we pump once a week. Not sure about salt water.

Although its not recommended, you can use in salt water as long as you rinse all the metal componets after use with freshwater. You must take off the prop and spray water in there to make sure te metal doesnt rust. Ive use my 45lb minn kota over 20 times in the salt water and rinse it after and she still works fine rust free.

I honestly do not know. The very small instruction booklet that it came with was not even in English. It has worked great the couple of times I have taken it out. Very loud, but it runs! I just don't know about salt water.. sorry.

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

No it can not be used in salt water, it works excellent but if you bow mount it you have to turn the control head around on the shaft this info is not in the instruction they asume you are useing it on the transum of the boat.
