SPS3000

Description

StarPod Systems are designed to provide a strong, sturdy and attractive mounting solution for Starlink on board large boats with a hardtop, radar arch, or other flat mounting surface. The waterproof housing incorporates a 10-degree polyethylene wedge that is CNC routed to fit the internal swivel tube and allows the dish to be rotated for optimizing the view of Starlink satellites if necessary. The angle also facilitates rainwater runoff that can degrade a signal if 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?

Full Installation Instructions for the StarPod 3 System are available HERE.

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).

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 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.
• Nickel Chrome-Plated Stainless Steel – We use all 316 stainless steel hardware that is supplied with each NavPod. Large round-head tamper-resistant screws have deeper sockets for matching to the NavPod wrench for better holding ability when tightening. The Nickel Chrome-Plated Stainless Steel tamper-resistant screws provide security combined with a little style!
• Commitment to Quality – We stand behind our commitment by offering a 10-year warranty on all new NavPods, including the StarPod.
