I have a 2001 key West 1900. Have had trouble with bait system. Single pump supplies the forward bait tank/bench and then added a second bait tank in port quarter. Suction is on the port side of the transom. Bottom line is that bait pump stops moving water when i speed above 5-10 kts. Asked boat yard if they could put a bronze suction/scoop in the bottom of the hull/keel, but they stated not enough room. Seems like pump is getting vapor bound when the boat speeds up.

Has anyone come up with a good solution to this problem so that bait systems will work at cruising speeds? Thanx!
