    FX Livewell Fill Pumps losing prime

    Every time i go to pump water in my wells, my pumps will not pump water. I have to put my motor in reverse to prime them up and they work the rest of the day. Anyone have a solution?
    Thanks

    Mine will do that in my FX at times. It is a pain to have to put it in reverse but I don't think there is any other solution. I guess it is a design flaw but I am not sure.
