I know with my rig, if the ramp is a steeper one, the water comes up over the setback into the splashwell, which I think gets in through the hose boot and into the transom area.
If the livewell hose is loose, that would make sense for your livewell pump as it needs to have the water pressure on it to allow the impeller inside to push water in. If that has any air in the system, it will either A) not pump at all, or if partially filled B) take some time to get going.
I think you are right brian...that is the place to start. If you are not on the water to test, take a hose with just a touch of pressure and put it to the livewell intake...then if you can see down to your pump housing area, you'll know immediately...
