Stanchion Kit
Stanchion Kit
Stanchion Kits are a very strong, sturdy and secure way to mount electronics on the dash or in the overhead area.
All Stanchion Kits include two mirror polished 316 grade stainless steel tubes with 1.25" outer diameter and 0.065" wall thickness. Kits also include stainless steel feet and mounting hardware. The stanchion tubes are pre-drilled for easy installation of a compatible NavPod. Wires can be routed down both tubes and are all concealed for a very clean installation.
First, find the right SailPod or SystemPod for your electronics, then choose the corresponding Stanchion Kit. Some Stanchion Kits are designed specifically for dash mounting (SK11, SK135) and some are designed specifically for overhead mounting (SK125, SK129, SK130). Each Stanchion Kit is designed to fit a specific range of NavPod sizes.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
The Starlink Roam dish was originally designed for RVs, not boats. Its waterproof rating of IP54 is a long way from the IP67 rating we are accustomed to in boating from the likes of Garmin, Raymarine and others. 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.
The 4-legged “X” base that comes with a Starlink Roam dish is not utilized when mounting inside a StarPod; only the dish and attached mounting pole are used. The center post of the Starlink dish is inserted through the center hole in the bottom of the StarPod, and extends into the chosen mounting pedestal.
