    Does anyone know if i could use this pump
    On a dredge? I know most 4" dredges prefer
    85 psi. This pump can do 15k gph but doesnt
    Give its psi assuming because its a trash pump.
    I bought a brand new one at auction for
    $275. Thoughts?

    if it is hook up to your power jet and can make 85 psi then it will work but it looks like on the heavy side maybe you can pull off the trash pump and put a keen pump on it

    Casey,

    Dont want to rain on your parade but...
    A trash pump will not, can not deliver enough PSI to properly operate a jet
    Try all you want
    trash pumps dont use close tolerance clearances (hence the name) to generate the pressure required
    Go straight to a centrifugal pump and matching motor, save your self alot of time, do it right the first time
