That dredge pump vibration gauge keeps getting ignored on our crew

I walked past the port side pump yesterday and saw the needle bouncing into the red zone for almost 20 minutes before anyone said something. The foreman just shrugged and said it's been doing that for weeks, but I checked the bearings this morning and found metal flakes in the oil reservoir. How often are you guys actually replacing those gauges when they start acting up, or is everyone just letting them ride?
