Simrad TP10 Tillerpilot
Sailing yachts up to 8,250 lbs rely on a Simrad TP10 tiller pilot, which pushes 143 lbs of thrust directly onto tiller pins across an 8.0-second hardover stroke with 0.5A power draw at 2 lbs.
- 143-lb thrust controls tillers under load
- Internal fluxgate compass enables standalone operation
- 8.0-second hardover speed corrects heading quickly
- Consumes 0.5A typical preserving house batteries
- IPX6 waterproof casing resists cockpit spray
Connect a compatible tiller-steered sailboat to the Simrad TP10 Tillerpilot, a self-contained 12V actuator with an internal lead-screw drive and fluxgate compass. This unit is intended for tiller-steered sailboats up to 32 ft and has a maximum recommended displacement of 7,400 lb. The actuator provides 143 lb, or 65 kg, peak thrust through a 250 mm, or 10 inch, linear push-pull stroke.
A 12V DC supply with a 10V to 16V operating range supports the tillerpilot. Standby current draw is 60 mA, typical automatic operation uses 500 mA, and peak demand reaches 7A. The body measures 610 mm long at mid-stroke, is 105 mm wide, and weighs 0.9 kg, or 2 lb. The standard mounting arrangement uses a transom pin, tiller pin, and deck socket. [213][215]
Drive and Tiller Integration
This Simrad unit combines a steering actuator, internal fluxgate compass, and microprocessor control in one tillerpilot. It is not intended for hydraulic, cable, or electronic steer-by-wire systems. The correct transom pin, tiller pin, deck socket, vessel displacement, and actuator geometry are essential installation checks.
The tillerpilot is supplied for a direct-wired 12V installation and does not use an external network connection. Select a mounting location that permits full actuator movement without interference. Follow Simrad installation guidance for pin positions, power wiring, compass setup, operating limits, and calibration.
Why Choose the Simrad TP10 Tillerpilot
The Simrad TP10 Tillerpilot combines a 12V lead-screw actuator, internal fluxgate compass, 250 mm stroke, and 143 lb peak thrust for compatible tiller-steered sailboats. Its 7,400 lb maximum recommended displacement, 10V to 16V supply range, 60 mA standby draw, 500 mA typical draw, 7A peak demand, 610 mm body length, and direct tiller connection provide defined fitment details before installation.
Warranty and Support
Simrad warranty terms vary by product and region, and the supplied specifications do not provide a named warranty period for the TP10 Tillerpilot. can help you review vessel displacement, tiller-arm geometry, transom-pin and deck-socket requirements, actuator clearance, 12V circuit capacity, and direct-wired installation details before purchase. Review the applicable Simrad warranty coverage and documented package contents before ordering.
Before Ordering the Simrad TP10 Tillerpilot
Confirm that your vessel uses a compatible tiller system, is within the 7,400 lb maximum recommended displacement, and has room for the 610 mm actuator body. You should verify the required transom pin, tiller pin, deck socket, 250 mm stroke, 143 lb thrust rating, 12V supply, 7A circuit capacity, and full actuator travel before purchase.
