Any suggestions to help us deal with a badly installed watermaker?

After owning this boat for 5 years, we are just getting around to 
activating the watermaker. This is a Vantage Marine (California) RO system.

Unfortunately it was installed badly, causing several problems. We are 
able to overcome most of them, but the Leeson raw water feeder/booster 
pump is a major frustration. Actually the pump is fine, but it was 
installed above the water line, and it doesn't self-prime. Without the 
boost pump primed, the water-maker is not operational.

Relocating the Leeson boost raw-water pump below the water-line is very 
difficult. Just getting access to it for removal would require some 
engine room destruction. So we would like to avoid that route.

Any suggestions to deal with this situation? We are brainstorming, and 
would value your input.

Thanks,
-Neal.
