Can we talk about those cheap dredge pump liners from that online auction site?

I bought a set for my 8 inch cutter suction dredge last month, thinking I saved about $400. They were fine for the first two days on a sand job in Mobile. On day three, one liner cracked clean through, sending metal shards into the pump housing. The repair bill for the pump and the lost day of work came to over $2,000. Has anyone found a reliable supplier for parts that won't fail like that?

Ugh, heard a similar story from a guy on the river last season. He swore by getting OEM parts direct after that.

Wait, he actually went OEM direct after one bad story?
