The TP 10 tiller pilots are storm-proof! Exceptionally powerful and extremely reliable, ensures easy and comfortable steering. It offers maximum performance with minimum power consumption and almost silent operation. The incredibly fast rudder movement shows how powerful this autopilot really is. Thrust rod and electronics are completely sealed. These tiller pilots have successfully completed a 24 hours operation test under water. The test shows that SIMRAD's tiller pilots work reliably and smoothly even in harsh conditions. Power supply: 12 V. The housing includes an internal fluxgate compass requiring installation at least 1 m away from magnetic interference.
Please note: The Simrad TP10 is supplied with open cable ends (2-pole). We recommend our item 81242 as bulkhead connection socket.

I have a TP10 purchased in 2016. Has worked perfectly until two weeks ago. Now does not operate to change of magnetic heading but operates ok in standby. Is it possible to get the unit serviced? Currently in Spain.
Dear Peter, this sounds like a defect in the rudder position sensor or the compass. Unfortunately, this can't be repaired, and as the TP is from 2016, we can't make an offer as part of the the 5 year upgrade programme. The only option here would be to buy a new TP10
