SPS1000 - Navpod StarPod Mini System w/StarTower f/Starlink Mini Dish (11.75 x 10.2″ Dish Size) *Starlink Dish Not Inc

StarPod Mini System with StarTower for Starlink Mini Dish (11.75 x 10.2″ Dish Size) *Starlink Dish Not Included

StarPod Systems are designed to provide a strong, sturdy, and attractive mounting solution for Starlink 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 to optimize the view of Starlink satellites if necessary. 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 bottom base 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 Mini dish is not utilized when mounting inside a StarPod; only the dish itself is used. We recommend completing the initial Starlink setup process 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).

All NavPods Feature:

• Structural Rigidity – The Gen3 enhancements now 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 the 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. StarPods 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.
• Stainless Steel Hardware – We use all 316 stainless steel hardware that is supplied with each NavPod.
• Commitment to Quality – We stand behind our commitment by offering a 10-year warranty on all new NavPods, including the StarPod.
