Is the Indulgence suitable for use on a saltwater fishing boat.

[Maast]

I tend to get quite wet with hauling in fish and the saltwater spray. I need a unit that has no electronics in it and is reasonably corrosion-proof.

I honestly dont know but.......I want to go fishing!!!
Sorry I wasnt much help.

Heh, well if you ever make it up here let me know and I'll take you and any family out, its on a 29 foot aluminum pilothouse I can fit 6 pretty comfy.

I also can offer no advice here,
but maybe I can suggest a zip lock baggie
and stuff it into your pocket like that when haulin' in those fishies, !!!!!!

Quite frankly, there is not much in this world that can survive the salt water of our oceans for any length of time...........

Maybe you could use something fabricated from a material that doesn't corrode easily (although nothing is truly stainless), like anchor metal...or get a sturdy mod, and clear coat it...like with a waterproofing spray. And make sure you are using "chum" flavored juice. Hope I'm not rocking the boat.

Whats the indulgance made out of? Is it chrome plated steel? stainless? titanium? brass? bronze? aluminum? adamantium?

Actually bronze would be great, that is corrosion proof - its why they make propellors out of it. Some grades of stainless too.

Spray it with that stuff they use on the distributors and electronics on 4 wheel drive vehicles like off roaders use.

I'm pretty sure the indulgence electroplated pot metal... probably not the best thing to have in your environment. I would say that an all stainless Mechanical mod is the way to go- like a Prodigy or icon. They both have switches that can be easily disassembled and cleaned without any tools. I bring my Prodigy V3 with me when I'm out on the water - I've dropped the damn thing in the fish cooler a few times. Only takes a couple minutes to clean up. I haven't noticed any corrosion either - then again, I'm pretty .... about keeping my mods clean.

You're in prime fishing territory, I'd love to spend a few weeks down there fishing. Actually, we went from Alaska, to Florida, to Iceland, to Utah, and then back to Alaska when I retired from active duty.
