I found a way to easily prime a Hobie tank. The solution will probably work with any scupper-fed pump. Check out post number 36 in the Innovations thread. After adding the angle adapter shown in that post, simply carry a piece of pipe, (I use a sprinkler riser), that will fit in the plastic tubing.

If your intake ever gets plugged up, blow some air through the system. If you cannot get the pump to prime, suck a little water in. This thing works great.
