I'm no plumber, obviously, but wondered if anyone has a solution or answer as to why this is? The only thing I changed was to put one of those screen domes over the intake on the back of the boat, as well as put in a new SeaSense livewell pump. I did put in new hose too, but routed it the same way, and it was the same diameter.

Thanks for any help y'all can provide!
You may have a hole or loose connection so it is drawing air until you back flush
