Recreational dredges are compromises, through and through! But recreational dredgers will still only purchase recreational dredges as they buy to price and most recreationalists put their dredges to so little use the design problems that continually arise are not the major problem they would be to a professional dredger. Recreational dredgers are always going to experience continual mechanical problems. More reasons why dredgers who are serious should use Production dredges rather than minimalist recreational dredges, even if it means more weight and the overall size of the dredge is increased. and additionally, the equipment will last longer as it will run slower. And this has many advantages, such as reducing noise. If you have a large motor with HP to spare, then the motor can be run at reduced revs. Just another reason to use a large motor on a dredge rather than the motors that come as standard on nearly all recreational dredges, which have to be run at near full reves just to get enough suction. Edited slightly for relevancy, but cut and pasted in the majority. You may wish to consider this when you buy an engine. Re: Engine/Pump options for 6" Dredge buildįound a bit of a logical opinion from a down-under forum.
