1. A floating slurry agitator comprising:
(a) a floating vessel having a horizontal deck, the deck having a front, a rear, a first side, and a second side, wherein the first side is opposite the second side; (b) a power source provided on the vessel; (c) a slurry pump coupled to the power source; (d) a slurry intake coupled to the slurry pump; (e) a front slurry output coupled to the slurry pump, wherein the front slurry output is directed downward, relative to the deck and wherein the front slurry output is pivotable from a first position directed at least partially toward the first side of the deck and a second position directed at least partially toward the second side of the deck; (f) a first rear slurry output coupled to the slurry pump; (g) a second rear slurry output coupled to the slurry pump; (h) a pivot pipe pivotably coupled to the frame; (i) wherein the pivot pipe is in fluid communication with the first rear slurry output and the second rear slurry output; (j) wherein the first rear slurry output and second rear slurry output are directed downward relative to the deck; (k) wherein the pivot pipe is sufficiently pivotable to direct the first rear slurry output and the second rear slurry output at least partially rearward; and (l) wherein the first rear slurry output and the second rear slurry output are coupled to the pivot pipe and positionally fixed relative to one another in a manner in which the first slurry output and the second slurry output pivot as a single unit; (m) wherein the first rear slurry output is directed between five degrees and eighty degrees relative to the deck toward the second side of the deck; (n) wherein the second rear slurry output is directed between five degrees and eighty degrees relative to the deck toward the first side of the deck; and (o) a directional controller coupled to the front slurry output. |
