Sorry; I missed the part about disconnecting the discharge/outlet hose from the pump. So, what I’m hearing is: No impediment between the seacock, i.e. the seawater intake, and the strainer. Water’s getting thru the strainer unimpeded. But it’s not flowing thru the pump, which appears to be turning as it should. Now, I’m assuming that all this is below the waterline, i.e. if you removed the intake hose from the pump, but held it at the same elevation, water would naturally flow, and eventually sink you. So if it’s not coming out the pump outlet, then either there’s a problem with the pump, OR there’s some impediment, maybe an airlock, between the strainer and the pump. What am I missing?
