A/C raw water priming pump

I was browsing marine AC accessories and saw the subject. After a little thought I designed one to utilize the same squeeze bulb pump supplying Andromeda's battery watering system. I ordered a coupler that will connect to her battery watering pump, a cross connector to direct the incoming water to Andromeda's 3 AC raw water systems, each connected with a marelon ball valve on a marelon T connector, inserted in its 1" raw water supply hose.
Once installed, if I ever have an air lock, I should be able to simply lift the hatch, pull out the male connector, snap on my squeeze bulb pump, stick the pump's supply hose in a bucket of water, open the ball valve to the offending raw water circuit, pump until the air is purged, close the ball valve, disconnect the pump, and turn on the AC.
