Scanstrut PTM-R1-SL-BLK Starlink & Radar Tapered Mast - Black FAQs

Which Starlink model is this mast designed for?

This specific mast is engineered to fit the Starlink Flat High-Performance model. It provides the robust, stable platform required for the flagship Starlink hardware to ensure you get the best possible connection while out on the water.

What other equipment can I mount alongside my Starlink?

That is the beauty of the PTM-R1-SL-BLK! It is a "one-stop" mounting solution. You can seamlessly install your radar (Raymarine, Garmin, Simrad, and Lowrance are all compatible), thermal cameras, GPS antennas, VHF aerials, and nav lights all on this single, sleek mast.

Is the installation process difficult?

Not at all. Scanstrut has redesigned this classic mast with the installer in mind. It features Easy Access Panels under each "wing," making cable routing a doddle. The mounting holes are pre-drilled, so your radar should fasten straight to the mast using its own bolts.

Do I need to cut my radar cables to fit them through the mast?

No, there’s no need for that. The mast and wings are designed to allow NMEA connectors to pass through internally. When paired with a Scanstrut Cable Seal (like the DS30), you can route your cables into the boat without having to remove the factory-fitted plugs.

How does it stand up to the British weather and salt spray?

Exceedingly well. It’s constructed from marine-grade aluminium and finished with Scanstrut’s unique 4-step marine paint system. It has been rigorously "SCA" tested (Safe, Certified, Approved), including 100-hour salt spray tests and 30G shock testing to ensure it won’t let you down in heavy seas.

What is the height of the mast?

The PTM-R1-SL-BLK stands at 820.4mm (approximately 32 inches) tall. This height is ideal for clearing obstructions on your cabin roof or flybridge, ensuring your radar and Starlink have a clear "view" of the horizon and sky.

Does it come in other colours?

This specific model is the Black edition, which looks fantastic on modern motorboats and RIBs. If you are looking for a traditional white finish, please get in touch with the team here at Morgan Marine, and we can source the standard version for you.

Do I need to use marine sealant during installation?

One of the best features of this mast is that no messy marine sealant is required. The kit includes a mounting gasket to ensure a watertight seal between the mast and your deck or coachroof.

What warranty comes with the mast?

Scanstrut offers a 3-year warranty on this product, giving you total peace of mind that your investment is protected.
