Have a Tsunami 500gph thru hull pump to pump water to the livewell in the center of the boat. It is mounted on the transom next to the drain plug for the boat.
Anyway, it won't pump water into the livewell consistently. it is well below the water line, so that is not an issue.
The pump runs fine....the impeller turns fine...almost seems like it's sucking air. ....if I take out the cartridge and allow water to flow into the boat and quickly snap it back, it will start pumping water into the livewell....I can turn it off and on and it pumps water...but if I move the boat to a new location, I have to go through the same procedure again which is a PITA!
Anyone have suggestions or run into anything like this before? Have the exact same pump as the aerator and it pumps fine.
