I did at the start have a few problems trying to see how this could be - but - now it is as plain as day. If they were to put the 350 pumps on to the motors the volume of water that they create would 'overwater' the table. He then carefully explained to me how the floats were nearly 'maxed' out with the weight of the 9hp motors/pumps and the table was really designed around the 180 high pressure pumps. But in all reality it is only a 'mini' sized dredge for a 6" suction and as the table is not overly large (but proving to be more than adequate under most conditions,) he said that you have to be careful with the amount of water that you put down it. I was all for going for the 11hp Hondas and 350 pumps. We discussed the motors/pumps and handling capabilities of the three in one table. I talked in length with Mark Keene from Keene engineering and he really dispelled any fears that I might have had at the time. This dredge is powered by two 9HP Honda motors driving two Keene 180 pumps - I was a bit worried when buying the dredge ex overseas without seeing one run. The 6" above is my latest aquisition having the new 3 in 1 table. This I do in either of two ways-by metal detecting with a Minelab X-Terra 70 detector that I bought while on holiday in Australia, or by suction dredging with my 6" Keene dredge that I have imported from America.
