[QUOTE="Tathradj, post: 78636, member: 2436"] I have a foot valve on the end of mine. What I do is set her all up, Before connecting the suction hose with the valve on the end of it, shake it backwards and forwards a few times to partially fill the suction hose connect it then undo the bung on top and fill the pump with water. Start it up with choke "off" " ( Label is back the front LOL ) and it will prime and run nearly straight away. You only have to do this once as both the foot valve and also the pump that has a valve in it keep it primed all day. I do not like running a pump dry to begin with as the seal needs water to keep it lubricated. Oh, I have cam locks as well. So easy. :D [/QUOTE]
