Suction line blew a gasket 30 miles offshore yesterday
Was pulling sand near the channel marker when the hydraulic hose gave out, sprayed oil everywhere for a solid 10 seconds before I killed the engine. Had to limp back to port on the backup pump and swap the line in the slip. Anyone else carry spare hoses for their specific model or just gamble like I did?

Sand dredging and suction lines are actually two different things... you probably meant the hydraulic system on a dredge pump.

Man that's a rough mix-up to deal with on site. Hope the crew got through it okay without too much headache.
