This year I added access to the raw water with one of those auto radiator flush thingies.  I had to prime the hose to get it to draw from the bucket.  I think it's just an air trap.  The raw water flow to the pump is normally all below the water line so getting to the pump is normally not an issue.  Priming is easy enough.

I didn't think of reving the engine.  I wouldn't take a chance on overheating the pump impeller.
