Once having the powercable through the ransom we let it follow the powercables of the solarpanels into the aft cabin.Easier said then done it required a lot of work to pull the cable through behind all teakwork in the aft cabin finishing in the port side garderobe behind the SSB-radio antenna tuner.
From there it was easy to bring it out to a 110V A.C outlet by the bedside desk (the power cable adapter connects to all between 100-240V A.C).
So far we have tested the set up with very good speeds in the saloon where Mercedes is working,in the pilothouse where all navigation takes place,as well as streaming films on television in aft cabin with no interruptions. This is in Marina de Puerto Mogan with lot´s of buildings around. It will be interesting to see how it performs out at sea outside of the 12 Nm range (which is the limit for "No priority plan" set up by Starlink).
