I've always wondered about how a kayak would do it. I presume a primer bulb would work great on yaks even with the smaller diameter because you don't need the kind of GPH flow that a boat requires.
Below the waterline, it should prime way easier than on a kayak. Good to know I am not the only one who has had issues.
