I am very satisfied with the Simrad Tiller Pilot. He was easy to grow and works flawlessly. Even the price at SVB is unbeatable.

Finally
The third one delivered and quickly exchanged back at SVB does what it's supposed to do.
Otherwise, the workmanship is rather exotic, too inaccurate for a high-end navigation device. Well, other countries...

Proven product
I still had the TP22 from a smaller boat and was happy with it.

The TP22 was already a few years old, however, and was struggling a bit with the weight of the Monsun.

So now I have the TP32.

The delivery was fast and accurate. Installation was easy as the autopilot fits to the same mounts as my old tiller pilot (Autohelm 800).

It would be nice if the package would include all the parts for the NMEA2000 network as it's pretty typical in boats. At least to clearly mention what parts are needed.

TP22 communicates pretty well with my Garmin instruments via NMEA2000. I have not be able to activate the navigation based on the route on the plotter while moving, only when standing still in the dock. The feature is not super important for me but it would be nice that everything works.

I've tried to calibrate the autopilot a couple of times without success or at least the compass direction figure from the tillerpilot to the plotter is waaaay off. Have to try again.

Sensitivity and seastate adjustments require a bit of practice. These are dependent on the boat type anyways. Sailing to the wind seems to work pretty well.

Even though I pointed out mainly the problems I'm pretty happy about the product. After some practice it keeps the direction ok and has enough power to navigate in the rougher conditions too.

Tiller Pilot Simrad Tp10
The tiller pilot is easy to install and works perfectly. Its handy dimensions and low weight mean it can be quickly deployed and quickly packed away again. Operating noises are not noticeable when the motor is running, but they are noticeable when sailing, but bearable. I would not want to be without the new helmsman as support and relief on my Leisure17.

Warranty claim
This product has been replaced with a new device under warranty. Very good action from SVB. The product itself is of poor reliability; I have another identical device (out of warranty), which presented the same malfunction.

Good after-sales service from SVB
Had 1 issue with the TP 32 losing control for no reason. After checking the correct positioning, the absence of magnetic interference, the quality of the power supply, I contacted SVB after-sales service, pilot under warranty, immediate support and very good contact with my interlocutor. Return supported, just got return, replacement with new driver at manufacturer's expense and free shipping. Total satisfaction from SVB, it remains to be hoped that the new TP 32 will not experience the same problems, first tests in the spring, it will be at the end of the guarantee of the original pilot.

Simrad Tiller Pilot
Very good and powerful product, unfortunately the push rod extensions from Raymarine do not fit the thread of the Simrad, so an easy change is unfortunately not possible and involves additional costs!

Simard TP 32
Excellent product. Does its job properly. Too bad that the instructions in French are not included. Force to download and print it.

Fast order processing, absolutely correct value for money. It remains to be seen in use.

TP 32 faster than TP 22
I previously used the TP 22 on my 31 foot yacht. The TP 22 has its difficulties, especially on long courses with lots of wind and waves. The TP 32 does this job better because it is faster.
