Checked window panel size - looks it is ok.
Manual bilge pump.
Looks like nobody serviced it since initial build. Membrane is dried out, pump is not priming at all.
Design must steps. I really need to be able to service mast.
Sump box.
Closed sump box with acrylic. Try how it works and figured out the pump is running well, BUT not pumping any water. Tried to take hose from check valve - resulted break it, but pump started pump water wel without any issue. connected back - it works.
Working thiory. Sump box was empty and pump had air inside, BUT hose had some water and pump was not able to "prime" due t to back pressure. Sounds i need to add small hole draining water back to sump box to let pump to pump out air if it trapped inside.
Electronic wind instrument mount
