Tillerpilots TP10/TP22/TP32

E04818 Issue 1.0

Note If the dimensions given are not practical for the vessel to which

the Tillerpilot is to be fitted, a range of fitting accessories are

available to facilitate correct installation. (Please refer to sec-

tion 6.4 for more details.)

CAUTION The Tillerpilot houses an internal fluxgate compass and

should therefore be mounted away from sources of magnet-

ic interference, such as the vessel’s steering compass or

external loudspeakers. The minimum safe distance is 1 m

(3 ft 3 in).

The Tillerpilot is mounted using a supplied tillerpin and mount-

ing cup, which allows the unit to be fitted and stowed easily.

To fit the tillerpin, drill a 6.3 mm (0.25 in) hole in the tiller

(ensure that this is on the centerline of the tiller and is vertical).

Drill to a depth that allows only the top 18 mm (0.75 in) to pro-

trude (Fig 5.3). Fix in place using an epoxy adhesive.

To fit the mounting cup, drill a 12.7 mm (0.5 in) hole into the

cockpit seat and mount, so that only the flange protrudes. Ensure

the cup is a tight fit (use an epoxy adhesive) and is supported

over its entire depth – if necessary, reinforce the underside of the

cockpit seat with hardwood or marine plywood (Fig 5.4).

Note Due to the high loads exerted, do not fit the Tillerpilot to the

mounting cup and pin until the adhesive has completely set.
