I've got mine connected but have it mounted inside my boat to the top of the deck. The motors report themselves as stuck and never move. I also leave mine running 24/7, and use 1.05kwh per day. I have an electric boat with 3200W of solar, so it's not a big deal, but for everyone else I recommend seeing a timer to turn it off when you're asleep.

I noticed that you didn’t mention what subscription you are paying for. Starlink has changed the subscriptions many times in the last year. The motion subscription is limited to 10 miles / hr and in shore (up to ~ 10 miles off shore). Off shore you should upgrade at least to the Continental subscription. The GPS on Starlink how fast you are traveling and where you are located. If you violate your subscription Starlink can shutdown your antenna and degrade you system to a fixed system at your registered home address. A world subscription is extremely expensive and is used by and paid for by cruise ships and mega yachts. They haven’t been been aggressive yet but if the use in violation of the subscription increases they may be shutting people like you down and limit your access.

We use the smallest Victron inverter dedicated to the starlink and the losses are about 0.3A. A lot easier than converting the unit to run off DC. Works flawlessly offshore on the regional roam plan if you hit the mobile priority toggle. Elon has made our Iridium go, Pactor modem, wifi booster and 4g mobile booser all redundant

I think Starlink now has a non-motorized antenna. Might make more sense for a ship.

I bought the RV.package, which worked everywhere. About 6 months ago it stopped working at sea, just entered Tunisia and the software states I can’t only use it where it is registered, ( worked here in March) unless I change my use to global, $200+/ month as opposed to the £85 I am paying now. Biggest problem with Starlink is that you only have internet access when you are with it, so when travelling away from the device it is useless. Sadly, it’s cheaper to buy an Esim. Great shame.

Great information, presently anchored in Porto Santo, sailing to Brazil, hoping to see you out there.

I just bought the maritime. I am in malaysia but could not buy a starlink without a malay digital id. I had to order through my usa adress and ship to malay.
To do this you must buy the high performace dish to get the global international waters coverage. Expensive but will be amazing to get internet 1000s of miles off shorr

inverter to power SL rather than converting to DC. My thinking was I don’t have to power up the big inverter just to run SL so ‘hoping’ the inverter losses aren’t as great plus it has a power switch making disconnecting easier. Your thoughts?
