A stabilizer platform (10) mounted to a vessel (20) for positioning asatellite dish antenna (80) in the azimuth (140) and elevation (160)directions. An azimuth motor (300) and an elevation motor (310) are mounted ina housing (30). Azimuth motor control cables (301) and elevation motor controlcables (311) are connected to the motors (300, 310) to carry signals and powerfor controlling the operation of the motors (300, 310). The azimuth motor(300) is coupled to the rotatable platform (40) through a gear arrangement andon top of the platform (40) is mounted an elevation drive (50) which holds thesatellite dish antenna (80). Mounted in the platform (40) and coupled to theelevation drive (50) is an elevation gear cluster which rotates with respectto the platform (40) to move the satellite dish antenna (80) in the elevationdirection (160).
