Lift the bucket of antifreeze higher than the strainer, these pumps are not designed to create suction dry and pull through a long hose with air in it.Quote:

These are self priming pumps, they're strong enough to collapse a garden hose. Try raising the bucket, but my guess is you don't have the intake valve closed. You'll never get suction and or will need to do it gravity feed.Quote:

I had to elevate the bucket and hose so it gravity fed, at that point it was fine. Not sure why it wouldn’t suck even when I had the bucket in the boat. I’ll be creating a set up similar to the one in the pic for next year.
Thanks everyone for your help, it was a long process but the job is done.

Hey man, where did you find a short hose like that and how did you attach that valve assembly to the bucket? What is that assembly called? I want to make something like this so I can winterize my boat. This is my first inboard so I want to make sure I do what I need to and do it right just to be safe and avoid any costly issues.Quote:
