O que este vídeo aborda

A Starlink Gen 3 dish is permanently flat-mounted on the dodger of Sea Dream of Clyde using a Trio flat mount, rather than the pole-mount-on-the-stern approach common with older Starlink generations.0:04 The Gen 3's fixed (non-articulating) design and larger footprint make a flat mount practical and reduce windage — the core argument against a pole mount in heavy weather.0:04 The Trio mount assembles with four bolts onto the dish and four bolts to the surface; the host marks hole positions with a Sharpie, drills oversized holes, fills them with Marine Tex epoxy, then re-drills through the cured epoxy to seal the dodger's wood core against rot.3:14 The cable routes under the mount and down through the deck to the modem below.3:27 Bolts proved 1 cm too short during initial installation; the dish sailed across the Gulf of California secured on two bolts before longer bolts and wood trim were sourced in San Carlos, Mexico, to complete the job.5:29 Wood trim along the mount edges prevents reefing lines from catching the panel.5:50 Sealing bolt holes with epoxy before final drilling is the key step for protecting a wood-cored dodger from water intrusion.3:53
