Common Question of Simrad TP32
What is the Simrad TP32?
The Simrad TP32 is a tillerpilot for compatible tiller-steered boats. It provides autopilot steering through an electric linear drive rather than a hydraulic pump. Confirm tiller geometry, boat displacement, mounting position, power supply, wiring, steering travel, and marine autopilot controller compatibility.
What boats suit a tillerpilot?
Tiller-steered boats within the TP32’s rated operating limits are the intended application. Verify displacement, tiller load, mounting points, battery capacity, cable routing, steering travel, and environmental requirements before purchase. Correct installation supports dependable course keeping.
Does it operate an anchor?
No. The TP32 controls tiller steering and does not operate a gypsy, drum, chain, or anchor rope. It is not an anchor windlass component. Use dedicated equipment for marine anchor retrieval.
