Raymarine 33STV 13 Satellite TV Antenna System N. America

Experience Seamless Entertainment on the Water with Raymarine's Compact Satellite TV Solution

Picture this: you're anchoring in a secluded cove after a day of sailing, the sun dipping below the horizon, and you fire up your favorite sports channel or binge-worthy series without a hitch. The Raymarine 33STV delivers that home-like TV experience on smaller vessels, turning choppy seas into your personal theater. Designed for boats from 20 to 25 feet, this 13-inch dome antenna punches above its size with reliable signal lock-in, even when waves toss your boat around.

What sets it apart? It's not just about catching signals—it's about keeping them through smart tech that adapts to your boat's every move. Boaters rave about how it transforms downtime into quality time, whether you're with family on a weekend getaway or solo fishing offshore.

Core Technologies That Keep You Connected

At the heart of the 33STV lies Wide Range Search (WRS) technology. Unlike basic antennas that hunt blindly, WRS scans a broad spectrum to pinpoint satellites in seconds. Once locked, it switches to precision tracking, ensuring your shows don't drop out mid-episode.

Then there's Dynamic Beam Tilting (DBT), a game-changer for marine use. It constantly adjusts for your vessel's heading, pitch, and roll—up to 80 degrees of elevation range means it stays glued to the satellite, rain or shine. With 31 dBi antenna gain, even faint signals come through crisp and clear, supporting high-definition broadcasts for that big-screen quality on your onboard setup.

• Dual-band operation: Handles multiple frequencies for versatile North American satellite compatibility.
• Stabilized dome design: Compact and low-profile, blending seamlessly with your boat's aesthetics.
• Weatherproof build: Tough enough for salt spray, heavy rain, and high winds without skipping a beat.

Perfect Fit for Smaller Powerboats and Sailboats

For owners of compact cruisers, day sailors, or center consoles in the 6-7.6 meter range, the 33STV strikes the ideal balance of performance and simplicity. It doesn't require built-in GPS, keeping setup straightforward—no extra wiring headaches. Mount it on an arch, rail, or hardtop, and you're ready to scan for hundreds of channels.

Integration is a breeze with standard marine AV systems. Pair it with your existing receiver, and enjoy everything from live news to on-demand movies. It's especially popular among coastal hoppers who demand reliability without the bulk of larger antennas.

Installation and Maintenance Tips for Peak Performance

Getting started is simple: Secure the dome to a stable surface with clear sky view, connect the cables, and power it up. Most installs take under an hour for handy boaters. Pro tip: Position it away from radar or heavy metal obstructions to minimize interference.

Maintenance? Wipe down the dome regularly with freshwater to fend off salt buildup, and check connections seasonally. Its rugged construction means it handles years of abuse, but a quick annual inspection keeps it tracking flawlessly.

Real-world users note it excels in the Gulf or Great Lakes, where weather shifts fast. One captain shared how it locked onto signals during 20-knot winds, saving a rainy fishing trip with playoff football.
