Nice, wonder what your doing different?

Today I opened the Livewell lid to find that the pump had become air-bound and the bait was oxygen-starved.

Seaweed had clogged the intake. I shut off the pump, gave a good blow on the discharge hose, and it cleared the intake. Problem solved without having to lift the Livewell to access the intake.
