This tube creates a restriction inside the hose and is responsible for most of the plug ups encountered when dredging. Conventional dredges develop their vacuum with a power jet made of steel tubing. This tried and true system has essentially eliminated all surface rock jams.

Our 3' is the smallest dredge we manufacture which utilizes our exclusive “sure flow” coupler. This dredge is powered by a Honda gx100 engine (approx 5.5 horse power) and our HP 300 pump, which is the only pump on the market made specifically for the 3' equipment. The smaller flotation and frame allow this dredge to be considerably narrower, shorter, and lighter than the 4'. Like our larger dredges, the frame bolts together and is made lighter for weight savings. It floats on its own set of pontoons which are well matched for the weight and size of this dredge. Our 3' dredge is considerably smaller in size than our 4'. When we designed the Proline 3' flair dredge, we built a machine that addresses most of the key problems associated with the 3' size. HOWEVER, Not all 3' Gold Dredges are created equal. Most 3' dredges are very close in size to the 4' dredges, and most all are powered by the same engine/pump combination.
