My question: Is the battery bad or the pump bad?

I cleaned the pump and there's nothing clogging/stopping it. Which one to replace?

I was thinking of using my FF battery (12v) to try to see if it can pump water out of a bucket or something to determine the problem.

Your thoughts?
Sounds like the pump is loosing it's prime. Your intake tube may be a little short.
-What model hobie do you have ???
