Know before you buy
This system is specifically engineered to fit the dimensions of the Starlink Mini Dish (11.75 x 10.2 inches). It is not compatible with the larger standard Starlink antenna models.
No, the StarPod Mini is designed exclusively for flat surfaces. Attempting to mount it on a curved surface will compromise the watertight seal and the structural integrity of the base.
The 10-degree angle is designed to promote consistent rainwater runoff. By preventing water from pooling on the face of the antenna, it helps maintain a clear signal path and prevents signal degradation during heavy weather.
Yes, the system includes an internal swivel tube that allows you to optimize the antenna's orientation for the best satellite view after the base has been secured.
The housing is constructed from UV-protected, acrylic-capped ABS, and the hardware is 316 stainless steel, making it highly resistant to corrosion. Simply rinsing it with fresh water during your regular boat wash-down is sufficient to keep it in top condition.
The unit uses a standard bolt-on, drill-through installation method. While it is straightforward for those comfortable with marine hardware, it does require drilling through your mounting surface to ensure a secure, watertight fit.
