Help needed - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Took my kayak out yesterday, had a blast on it. However my aerator pump isn't working. Flip the switch and it turns on, it just isn't pumping. Am I missing something? Any help is appreciated.

Is it spinning backwards? I wired mine up backwards once. Same problem you had. Flip the leads and see what happens.

Sounds like you need to prime it since it is spinning.

It might be that your aerator valve in not open. Try twisting the end of the valve open.
