StarPod Mini System with StarTower for Starlink Mini Dish, 11.75 x 10.2″ Dish Size

StarPod Mini System with StarTower for Starlink Mini Dish (11.75 x 10.2″ dish size)

The SPS1000 includes the StarPod Mini Housing and StarTower for Flat Surface Mounting. Housing fits Starlink Mini (11.75 x 10.2" dish size). STARLINK DISH NOT INCLUDED. This StarPod Mini System is designed to provide a strong, sturdy and attractive mounting solution for Starlink Mini on board boats with a hardtop, radar arch, or other flat mounting surface. The waterproof housing incorporates an internal swivel tube which allows the dish to be rotated.

The 10-degree housing angle facilitates rainwater runoff to prevent signal degradation that can occur when water accumulates on a flat mounted Starlink dish. The StarTower base is solidly built with 8 mm thick aluminum and powder coated with a high gloss white finish. The base plate of the StarTower measures 7" square. What are the benefits of mounting a Starlink dish in a StarPod? StarPod protects Starlink and completely encloses the Starlink antenna in a very sturdy and attractive waterproof housing. Our testing has proven that there is no degradation of signal while inside the thermoformed acrylic-capped ABS housing.

Mounting a Starlink dish inside a StarPod provides additional protection from water intrusion, just as all NavPods have done for other Marine Electronics for over 25 years. How do I mount a Starlink dish inside a StarPod? The kickstand base that comes with a Starlink Gen3 Standard dish is not utilized when mounting inside a StarPod; only the dish itself is used. The initial Starlink setup process should be completed before mounting the dish inside a StarPod (refer to your Starlink setup/installation guide for this process). Once the initial Starlink setup process is complete, the dish can be mounted inside the StarPod housing (using the instructions and hardware included with the StarPod). NOTE: Assembly of this product is greatly aided by the use of a deck fill wrench (Groco model SW-2531 or equivalent product). This tool is NOT included with the StarPod. All NavPods feature: Structural Rigidity – Gen3 enhancements include a thicker gauge acrylic capped ABS material that improves strength and provides better structural rigidity.

This thicker material allows for a larger waterproof seal. The better the structural rigidity, the less flexing when tightening and more uniform pressure on the seal. The excellent UV stability of the acrylic is combined with the durability of the ABS. The acrylic cap protects the ABS from UV and its potentially damaging effects on plastic. Waterproof Seal – All NavPods are manufactured with a double gasket system providing an excellent watertight seal. This seal provides the best protection for your Marine Electronics. StarPod are made to withstand the harshest wet offshore boating conditions. Gen3 enhancements include a thicker external silicone gasket with improved flush fit.

The internal Poron Microcell Polyurethane gasket is now 50% thicker and is not subject to “compression set” like many rubber compounds. This is important when you need to open the NavPod in the future to service your electronics. The gasket will continue to do its job. Commitment to Quality – We stand behind our commitment by offering a 10-year warranty on all new NavPods, including the StarPod.
