Could you not just use some shrink tube and seal the probe and the wire from the salt?
Ranco did it at no charge for me
Sort of off-topic but I have a Ranco I have yet top setup yet. Do they need to be calibrated?
Yes, I bought some food grade heat shrink tubing and cut about 3' off and put the probe in the middle and just folded the heat shrink in half with the ends out of the water. It worked fine but I read it was totally unneeded and removed it shortly afterCould you not just use some shrink tube and seal the probe and the wire from the salt?
As far as I know, that's as tight as you can tune them. I would usually see 1-2 degree degree swings with my ranco. I still use it, but I have it behind a Hydros now. I'm usually within a quarter degree nowadays.The only thing is they are adjustable for F° or C° in 1 degree increments, is there a way to fine tune them or is putting them in F° the smallest window for on off temperature range?

The probes come in two flavors, one of which is titanium and is fine for saltwater. The other would need to be shielded.
You're thinking AquaLogic which is a ranco with a titanium encapsulated probe.....and a new brand sticker.
Actually I was looking for this, which if I'm reading it correctly, it will have a smaller operating window if it is set to C° compared to being set to F°One degree is the minimum differential
