This is a Fresh Water trolling motor. You can go to www.minnkotamotors.com for more information and see all the different trolling motors they have.

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

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

no. not entirely. the esc and receiver are waterproof. not the motor. don't go submerging it

It is kind of noisy - like alot of gears grinding, but no vibration. Once it's in the water it is pretty quiet. I'm not sure if that's what you're hearing, but if it sounds like something is wrong and it's vibrating there may be a problem with the motor.

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

With mine a salt water pump came with it and it is salt water. Wonderful for not doing much to it, I sold on salt water pools now.

No the motor is water tight. I have had the unit completely in water and touched it to take it out, and I was fine.

I just asked my marine plumbing guy - he said 'in a pinch' but don't expect years out of it. You should always buy a 'raw water' pump or pump specified for 'Salt' if you want it to last.

This motor will work in saltwater if you clean it off after each use. I could barely make it back to the dock in a fresh water lake it's so under powered. This would not be a good motor to use if there is a current or waves. It's unreliable and will most likely will result in a situation were you will need to be rescued.

I believe its submerge only. There are different resistances in air and water, therefore requiring different design in a motor. This says submersible, so i would take it literally.

Why certainly it can be operated in salt water as well as brackish water. Be prepared for earlier motor failure as well as other water contacted part failure. It is not specificly designed to operate in salt, but will operate in water no less. They do leak and water does get inside, then the corrosion will begin.

I am on brackish water, and have owned the craft a little more than a year. I can tell you that I have not noticed any difference in its condition over than time.

Do you have fresh or salt? If this is for fresh water 55 gal the API M will work just fine

I do not know. I never take my boat to salt water. There are exposed metal plungers in the back on the front of the motor.
