Starlink Wiring
The wire provided with the Starlink Mini is long enough to reach the solar arch but the 28 gauge wire inside results in a large voltage loss (approximately 7V over 30 feet) when powered with 12VDC. This causes frequent reboots of the system.

The solution is using a small Victron DC-to-DC converter that boosts the system 12VDC (13.3V) up to 24VDC with an On/Off switch located on the starboard stairs ledge.
