another thing that will make priming difficult is any obstruction, you can pull off the cartridge to expose the impeller by squeezing the 2 red tabs and twisting. A lot of times eel grass finds its way in there and wraps around.

Met bigbarrels on the sand one day and he hooked me up with a 3ft/3ft section of this stuff. A little cut about 3"x3" section with some thin strips of duct tape and I haven't had any problems with clogging up my pump anymore.

Thank you for all the advice, I'll run a longer tube, and use some screen to keep it from getting plugged. Also I'll pop the cartridge and check for grass or obstructions.
