priming new Hobie bait tank. - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I flop up and down and it seems to work plus confuse the crap out of everyone to stay away.. Seems to push water up the tube and get it going.. If not just peddle fast in circles..

A trick I found is facing the intake tube off center and it seems to create a vacuum like effect when priming.. Who knows but it worked for me..

FYI when you purchase a new livewell there is an extra length of tubing in the tank 1 inch longer than the one on the pick up, swap it out if you have a PA, you need that extra inch of draw.
