"Hi All,
First time cleanin
"Hi All,
First time cleaning my raw water strainers yesterday. I closed the seacocks, opened the strainers and cleaned them out. First time I attempted to put the strainer together, I had a leak so I closed the seacock and did it again. Now, when I throw the seacock open, no water fills the strainer. If I turn the motor over a couple of times, the strainer starts to fill. I don't want to run the impeller dry, so what do I do? Is there a trick to prime the pump?
Is this normal behavior?
Thanks!"
