That’s s u c k i n g air
Do you have a value shutting off the route to the livewell pump when you’re using it? I’m not 100%, but it may be that the flow rate of the pump is creating enough pressure at the “y” where you’re sharing the pickup with the livewell pump that it’s pulling from both directions at that junction. Turning off the ability for it to backflow air from the livewell pump may help you at least troubleshoot the new unit.
