Flipsky switch smart. If you want to operate from outside you need ip67 push button, momentary with NC and NO contact.
I took this one:

How did u decide how far from the back of the board to put your mast?
In my experience you want to set the board up where the total boards mass location (center of gravity “CG”) is located directly over the front wing, slightly forward CG is better then too far back from my experience.
I’m interested to hear other people’s first hand experiences with getting this right.

I used the Nike approach, just do it basically I heard as far as back as possible. I hope this position will work for me.

That seems to be what I experienced with my last back heavy build. On shore, with the battery’s installed, the board would stand up on the foil. I expect most boards tip over on their nose.
Every foil rides a little differently. I have some wings where I have to be a little bit more forward than others as they provide more lift.
In most cases your back foot will either be above the mast or very slightly in front of it. I’ve never had a foil where I have placed my back foot behind it. This means you can go as far back with the foil as board strength allows you to.

Nice work Jan!
I like your exact clean solutions!
From Where you got the Kreppband?
Hi,
Thx bro. I found the strap here:
You need to be careful to have foam and hook on same side to be able to fasten it (umlenköse).
Cheerio
Okay new pics incoming. The box is ready, from electric point of view. Not as clean as I would like to have it but I guess nobody is perfect
Pump is working and there is no leakage, at least on land. Water sensor is anoying but seems effective:
I had some serious Frankenstein moments while putting the box into the board and fixing it with epoxy, it’s alive 
Next step will be basic color, 2k in Matt black followed by finish with transparent 2k coating

The board is grinded already with a 600 wet sandpaper. Basically I just need to clean the board to remove the dust and can spray straight.

I had a good afternoon of spraying and I am really happy with the result. Unfortunately I found a suspicious area at board side near edge of box cavity. I do not use vacuum technique for lamination which resulted in an air gap there. The gfk is fragile at this position, better to fill it with epoxy before I proceed with anything, top prio. Other next steps would be grip tape And hatch
Cheerio
Cheers Jan
