Probably. I only ran mine in a freshwater lake, however. Not sure how saltwater may affect the motor or other mechanism.

It will run, but salt water is very corrosive. Unless it is built from or coated with material that resists corrosion, every part of the motor that comes in contact with salt water or salt air will be affected. A motor that would otherwise last for a decade could be worthless after a single season in salt water.

Yes, it can be used for salt water, it has sealed bearings. Just rinse it off with fresh water after you use it.

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

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.

Yes, but I recommend they not be exposed to salt or water. These operate on 12 volts DC which is the usual automobile voltage.

Panasonic says it can be used in salt water, but we used ours only one time underwater, snorkeling at about 6 to 8 feet (and rinsed it afterwards), and within a few weeks the battery ground connector was so badly corroded the camera no longer would turn on. Trying to contact Panasonic support now, but their automated "help" system is a joke.

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

I do not know. I do not have a salt water pool. It would be best to ask the manufacturer. I was well pleased with the item.

A person who sells RC boats, cars, etc. told us that boats with water-cooled engines should not be operated in salt water. Keep in mind, however, that he lives in Minnesota (which is not near ANY salt water), so the basis for his answer may be anecdotal.

Of course it depends on what it is hooked to, but yes the bobbers will work i n any non salt water.

I bought this for my husband, he said you may use it in saltwater as long as you flush it out with fresh water after each use.

Yes, it works on salt water. It is easier to maneuver with 2 people in the boat because it's heavier, and you have to make sure it's fully inflated.

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.

Yes, but for saltwater, you will need to order the zinc anodes kit. This set does not have them.

I don't use it in salt water ... however, as the chlorine in the pools (along with other chemicals) isn't exactly gentle either (I use them for 1 hour lap swimming every day!), I'd say if you clean them under clear water after each time you use them, they'll probably have a decent life time despite the poor conditions you're exposing them to in salt water. Just make sure that the walkman is completely dry prior to inserting it in the charger (the charger would probably not have what so ever resistance to remaining salt water !).
