[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 251196, member: 6937"] My Triton has the exact same pump, running to the livewell. I notice that if I go faster than an idle, it will suck air. Once I stop, it takes a few seconds to catch prime and start pumping again. Check the strainer screen on the outside of the transom, as well as the inlet pipe to the pump, and make sure it's not obstructed by anything, such as weeds, coarse sand, etc. Here in the salt water, the most common problem is barnacles growing inside the inlet pipe. Using a spray can of anti-fouling paint, and giving a good shot into this pipe prevents slime, barnacles, etc, from forming in there. [/QUOTE]
