STARLINK V4 - Reviews/suggestions?

[Capt Ben]

Hi all. It seems the current shipping (non flat) version has the Standard V4 Antenna. I understand this version does NOT have motors, etc.. Accordingly, are any sailors using this version yet on their boat and if so, mounting & electrifying suggestions for a 38' racer/cruiser monohull? I do have an 8ft transomn Radar post and a pretty low profile dodger.
Thank you all in advance as I consider this data source, mostly for weather routing... BTW, Immediate use will be starting in the great lakes (middle of Lake Michigan & Lake Huron.
Per WestMarine - IN THE BOX:

• Standard V4 Antenna
• Kickstand
• Gen 3 Router
• Starlink Cable
• AC Power Cable
• Power Supply

I have been using this setup on my trawler for 6 weeks. I have a pole mount adapted to a rod holder withe antenna mounted almost horizontally. Flawless so far. In the SE AICW- typically 200+down, 12-15 up.
Btw, the Starlink pole mount is not the most robust since it only has a shallow recess and a single locking screw.
Trio mount has a more robust looking pole mount. They also sell a very nice 12v power supply if you don’t want to use an inverter.
