Just realized my main suction line hose clamp was a cheap knockoff after it blew at 3 AM on the Willamette.
The clamp sheared, dumping a ton of material back into the cut, and I had to shut down for four hours to get a proper marine-grade replacement from a supplier in Portland.

Oof, that's the worst kind of late-night surprise. Glad you got it sorted but losing four hours hurts.

Tell me about it, @benwilliams. That sinking feeling when you realize the fix is gonna cost you half your night is the worst.
