Sammy, I know you don't and that rock bores can't be done straight...
Of all the pumps I pulled I had one that had a hole worn in the wet end and one the motor; that looked like it had been there for some time. Most of the rest had no marks on them. All were on PE pipe and were as deep as just over 500' but most were in the 150' to 400' range. I never saw wear on pipe, but maybe 5 out of 10 had damaged cable. Most had cable guards but no tape between them or it had come loose and that's where the wire was worn bare. Some of those had multiple worn through spots. Many of the pumps were 15-20+ years old with a few to 30 yrs old.
Maybe 1 out of 15 had an arrestor. Rope was rare but always a serious PIA.
