Glad it worked. Hope the pump was easy to get to.UPDATE:
So the garden hose trick did not work. I don't know if it's just too long of a run on my boat, or if there was too much back pressure, but I had water going EVERYWHERE except into that outlet. I tried it multiple different times, and never got it to work.
It's blowing 25+ and I didn't feel like dealing with all that, so I just took the laborious route and removed the 20yo hose from the outlet on the pump. Apparently this is the first time it's been removed since it left the factory, because it was all sorts of fun. But after managing that, I actually heard the air bubble gurgle up and out. Reinstalled and voila!
Note to self: clean out the strainer BEFORE the boat comes out of the water next year. :smt017
