We were in a campground in Puerto Peñasco last month. About 100 yards from the surf break, backed in so we could view the beach. As an old time sailor, I should have known better – never turn your back to the water. About 2AM one evening a storm came up, 50mph winds whipping sheets of salt water on to the rig – and Starlink connection. Despite providing the installer with waterproof connections he connected the Starlink through the hull with non-waterproof connectors. The connection was shorted out. Despite cleaning out as best I could, the connection through the hull was ruined. Fortunately, I had a spare cable and was able to feed that through the window. A few YouTube videos showed me how to “terminate” an Ethernet connection. I was able to remove the defective connection and install the waterproof connection and an extra deep cover. It all works great.
But I will not be “turning my back” to the ocean again!!!
