Simrad TP32 Tillerpilot

Super easy to install and set up! Works great! Wish I would of bought this years ago! Had to calibrate to starboard 10seconds! Dose well with current! I’m glad I bought this instead of the raymarine ev series! Less than half the price! Had to remove my wheel and install tiller. I prefer tiller over the wheel more space and quicker response!

Product was received promply and in perfect condition. The nature of the product requires planning and additional hardware prior to installation. Exact installation is critical for correct operation.

You have two choices when it comes to a tiller pilot a raymarine or a simrad.I have never used a raymarine.but in the specifications I have read for all of the tillerpilots this one is the strongest.My first simrad was a tp10 and was great except when it got to the end of the travel, at the end of travel the cog belt inside would jump. The jumping belt made an awful grinding sound. I did find spare belts at mcmastercarr but they were not metric as the original belt was but were very close dim…ensionally and they did work (I tested). I never did need the spare belt though. I wound up putting limit switches inside of the tillerpilot these switches prevented the bar from getting to the very ends of travel. The switches worked great.Now that my friend and I have upgraded to a 33 footer I knew we would need a stronger tillerpilot I sold the old boat with the tp10 and bought a tp32. This new boat has a rudder which pivots at the leading edge which makes it very susceptible to weatherhelm. The TP33 is very strong and can move the tiller easily even with alot of weatherhelm. No problems when this tp33 reaches the end of its travel. The controller does try to keep on going but it must have a motor over current sense circuit?? (it seems) because it tries to keep on going past the limit but the motor stops but then turns on then stops the controller sees there is too much load and stops and then tries again. Well at any rate it is better but much more expensive than the tp10.I think I will still put the limit switches inside of the tp33 because I also made it so when the tillerpilot hits the limit switch it starts buzzing telling me something must be wrong.
