We use ours in fresh water, so dont know hpw it would last in salt water. If they would get the on&off; coupler that goes with it to take out of water when not in use it will be fine. Its simple& fast to use. The ladder is great!

Everything but the internal cable is aluminum. The cables are to prevent the steps from falling into the water when adjusting the level.

Yes, but the plastic coated support wire chaeffs easily and then rusts from the inside. I do love the ladder and the price was great

Seems to be doing very well, the retaining cable looks like it is rusting. Overall I am very happy

It's great for saltwater! The only issue I have had is that you get water inside the prop housing. Not a huge deal, I just remove the prop after each outing and clean the housing

It's fine for salt and freshwater. I've used mine for channel cats in central Tennessee as well as a 5.5ft blacktip in the gulf.

I use it in salt water. You should rinse w fresh water after exposure. I'm on my second one. First lasted 3 years. Longest of any I've had. I recommend it.

I've used mine in saltwater since the day I bought it. That was almost a year ago. I just rinse it very well when I get home. This motor works perfectly on my little skiff!

I have a freshwater tank but I just read someone else say they used it in salt water and I guess the salt can clog up the air bubble holes and they removed the light after a year.

I do not remember, however, I have used them in salt water for two seasons with no issues.

Ytolyccuz, I'm a technical diver, I have brought this with an underwater camera to as deep as 100ft in the sea, till today it's solid and no hints of rust, I have had this for over 5 years now, and it's still going strong. However, I suggest, that like anything that has been in the sea, put it in fresh water as soon as you can, dont let the salt dry on it.

I would say yes. I use it in a salt water swimming pool, but have not used it in the ocean. The device is sealed and should not let in any water, salt or otherwise. If you are worried about effect of salt remaining on the surface and drying out there, wash it off after use. Additionally, the instructions coming with the device do not contraindicate use in salt water.

I`m using mine in saltwater and it seems to be working well. Of course I clean it with fresh water after each use.

We have salt water and no problems yet. It's been in the water about half a year.

I live on the Gulf coast. The maps provided with my unit have all the charts for my local salt water areas. Physically the unit is built fine. It can be used in any environment.

I don't use it in salt water. I am not sure if it is compatible or not. Recommend you check Minn Kota website.

I don't have a salt water pool so I cannot answer your question. My last one ran for 14 years with my chlorine pool.

It can but the one for salt water has different seal that can handle the salt if you rinse it aff after use in salt water it would be ok

the underwater case is no problem in salt water. Mine has done well for over 24 dives. Just keep out of sun before dive to avoid fogging. I always changed batteries between dives.

Salt water should not be an issue. Just make sure to rinse thoroughly in fresh water when you're done.
