Update on that new sediment sensor I bought for the cutter head
I dropped about $1,200 on a wireless density sensor for my 10-inch dredge, hoping it would help me avoid overloading the pump. It worked great for a day, then the constant vibration shook a connection loose and it gave me a false clear reading, which almost caused a jam. Has anyone found a truly rugged model that can handle the shake on a smaller dredge?

That "shook a connection loose" thing is a perfect example of how everything is just a bit too fragile now. It's like my kid's overpriced headphones that break if you look at them wrong. You pay for a tool to solve a problem, and its own design creates a new one.

You're totally right about that. It's the same with so many modern appliances and gadgets. The fix for one weak spot just makes another part fail.
