    Where are the shutoff valves?

    Here's a pic of the pump. Up is up. It's mounted to an engine compartment bulkhead under the sink in the cockpit. Very difficult to reach, so I'm wondering: if I filled the freshwater tank and opened all the spighots, could I then prime the pump by pressurizing the line with the output...
