Hot take: I was totally wrong about shallow water dredging

I used to think operating in spots under five feet deep was just too risky. After a season using a tilt monitor on the dredge head, I saw how it prevents ground strikes. Now I take on these jobs with extra checks for depth and sediment. It actually cuts down on repair costs and opens up new areas to work.

Check that tilt monitor calibration every morning. Found out the hard way even a small drift throws your depth readings off.

I mean, I never bothered before, but this makes sense now.
