I'll charge the 6v fully and try it again in the bucket. If it works i'll take it out on the waters to see if it work. I'm pretty sure the tube and everything else is fine. The tube sticks out about an inch under the kayak. I'll try to get pics next time.

The 6 volt batter running that pump is ideal.
The first thing I would do, is check the pump like you are doing, but with the volt battery fully charged. If everything is good, then it has to be one of 3 things, 1). hose to short, or too long, as mentioned, 2). or the intake is sucking air. Or 3). the intake is getting clogged (kelp perhaps).
