Or take the garden hose and push water back into the pump.

Every boat is different. The sailboat I used to have....I'd lose my prime just running the boat over to the fuel dock and back. Eventually, I learned to close my thru hull before leaving my slip.

My last boat was like that. I had a 99 Bayliner 3055 Ciera. Unfortunately the seawater pump was mounted way above the waterline. I learned the 1st season to close off the intake seacock whenever I was going to head out. Same thing when the boat was pulled for rack storage. Repriming that pump was a bear.

The good thing about my Carver is the seawater pump is mounted well below the waterline. Easily primed. But like it has already been said every boat is different.

It would be nice to hear back from the OP on this.
