If losing pressure when increasing speed after an X number of kts. you will need a scoop on the bottom of the intake tube on the pump. The scoop wll force the water up and into the live well when going forward. Also the scoop has to be placed approx. a 1/4 - 1/2 inch below the bottom of boat and alignment is crucial. The scoop usually is made of brass with a threaded neck and you may need to jerry rig it to pump. Harder to explain then to do. the scoop has narrow slots, do not need to worry about weeds.
