SIMRAD Tiller Pilot TP 22 / displacement max. 5000 kg
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.
