unscrew the check valve and take out the spring. the spring is to strong for your pump.

I am wondering why those of you who are using the large pet container don't just steal a page out of the Hobietank book and mount the pump inside the container? Seems easy enough and then no priming, no thru-hull and no hanging the pump over the side....Drilling a couple holes in a $40 tank to match your scupper dimensions seems more logical than drilling a hole in your $1K kayak??
