Hi R-31 owners. Has anyone installed the $2,500 Starlink Dishy on their R-31? If so does it drain much power from the house batteries when at anchor?
Thanks,

I installed one and detailed the power consumption here -

I have a dedicated 375W Victron inverter just for the Starlink, and draw off my battery ranged from 4-12amps, but this also includes my AIS TX, and router. I don't use the Starlink router, as mine has 4G antenna as a backup, and automatically switches to that when I turn off the Starlink.
