Malibu livewell kit question

I have put the livewell kit in my Malibu Stealth 14. I am having trouble getting it to pick up water. The hose will fill up but I have to pat the intake on the bottom of my yak to get it to prime and start pumping. How can I get around having to put my hand in the water everytime I start it up?

I had the same problem once but only once out of alot of time otw. I thought that maybe I got some weed in the pump but I don't know.

I am installing mine this week, curious to what you find out. My first thought would be the aireator? Have you tried messing with that?
