I have a new Simrad TP22 tiller pilot in my Jaguar 27 sail boat, and one of these two has to go! The TP22 operates constantly, in very short bursts, moving the arm about 5mm at a time. If hit by a gust of wind, on any point of sailing, the unit does not respond fast enough to keep the boat anywhere near on course. It works fine when motoring. It will tack the boat, but the counter helm is applied far too late, too little, to steady the boat on the new tack. In short, it doesn't work.
The unit is set up as per the destruction booklet.
Is this normal for this unit....or is it me?
Any advice greatly appreciated (I would rather keep the boat)
