On my last boat (non Tiara) I had a similar problem. Up north when we haul out for the winter and launch we would need to bleed our AC systems of air.
So after the pump I installed a brass T, reconnected the water lines, then off that T installed another 12" hose. Then at the end of that 12" host I installed a brass valve. It was actually a garden hose end with a ball valve in it from Ace Hardware. So when I needed to bleed the line I would open that valve until water came out. AC would run fine after that.
Perhaps you could install a similar valve somewhere closer to the AC unit that would be easier to access. That's my ownly suggestion. I'm not aware of any self priming AC pumps out there any more.
Good Luck and let us know how you make out.
