There are saltwater models but they are much more expensive than the Minnkotas talked about on here.
Good luck with a 6 horsepower in the chuck.

Don't want to hijack this thread but are electrics any good in the salt?

 Just picked up an 11 ft aluminum that will be used mostly in the salt so trying to get an engine that would be a good fit.Thinking a 6hp short gas engine as there is a decent amount of current where I'll be fishing but also considering electric options.

A 6hp and 11ft are fine for tooling around Cates park Belcarra area, but "the Banana" as its called,(area 29 t-10, sand heads deltaport) are no joke. Winds, tides and large standing waves in the Fraser mouth are not to be taken lightly.

You'll be fine, taking appropriate precautions.

Back on topic, the Endura c2 doesn't have maximzer.  Might not matter for you, makes a big difference on my 72lb 24v bow mount, and 50lb transom mount.
