Hello all,
Need a little input. I'm building my first dredge. I have a 10hp 3" trash pump, A52 sluice, 2 inflatable pontoons from a large one man fishing pontoon, I'm building a frame, I have a suction nozzle and hoses. help I need: What do I use or where do I get the flare, dampener flap, and do I need a jet nozzle on the flare since I have a suction nozzle already? What else am I missing... -------------------- James

nevermind on the dual sluices. It's not necessary. I ran a test at home today with a bag of pay dirt and everything was caught in the top vortex mat before it even got to the riffles.
