NavPod StarPod 3 System for Starlink Gen3 Standard Dish - Marine Satellite Mounting Solution

StarPod 3 System for Starlink Gen3 Standard Dish *Starlink Dish Not Included

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 to optimize 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 the 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).

Features:

• 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 the 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 an improved flush fit. The internal Poron Microcell Polyurethane gasket is now 50% thicker and is not subject to a 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.

Specifications:

• Starlink Dish Not Included

The NavPod StarPod 3 System is a robust mounting solution designed specifically for the Starlink Gen3 Standard Dish, providing a secure and weatherproof enclosure for your marine satellite antenna. Built with a durable 8 mm thick aluminum base and a high-gloss white powder coating, the StarPod offers excellent structural rigidity and resistance to harsh offshore conditions. The waterproof housing features a CNC-routed 10-degree polyethylene wedge, allowing the dish to be rotated for optimal satellite alignment and facilitating rainwater runoff to prevent signal degradation. The system's design ensures that your Starlink dish remains protected from water intrusion while maintaining maximum signal integrity.
Mounting the dish inside the StarPod eliminates the need for the kickstand base supplied with the dish, simplifying installation once the initial setup is completed. The enclosure’s double gasket system, including a thicker external silicone gasket and an internal Poron Microcell Polyurethane gasket, guarantees a superior watertight seal. This double gasket configuration is crucial for marine environments, safeguarding electronic components from water, humidity, and salt exposure. The use of all 316 stainless steel hardware, including tamper-resistant screws, enhances security and durability, ensuring the system withstands the rigors of marine use.
Designed with quality and longevity in mind, the NavPod StarPod 3 System offers a 10-year warranty, reflecting its high manufacturing standards. The acrylic-capped ABS housing not only provides excellent UV stability but also increases overall strength and rigidity, reducing flexing during tightening and ensuring a consistent seal. This system is engineered to protect your satellite communications equipment without compromising signal performance, making it an ideal choice for boaters who demand reliability and durability in challenging environments.
The StarPod system is compatible with the Starlink Gen3 Standard Dish, which measures approximately 23 inches by 15 inches. Please note that the dish itself is not included with this purchase. Overall, the NavPod StarPod 3 System enhances your marine satellite setup by combining sturdy construction, weatherproof features, and ease of installation, ensuring continuous connectivity while on the water.
