Default Hard Anodising

I had check with the factory, they said only Hard Anodising will last longer in saltwater..... That why it cost more expensive......

May be the cooling probe can be change to Stainless Steel, then for Saltwater use is better....... I not very sure about it, cos i am using it for freshwater at the moment....
