I have had the Simrad TP22 as a replacement for my old Autohelm 1000, which was the Raymarine's "daddy". Mine lasted 20 plus years(it came with the boat when I acquired it in '99.. it actually still works but is not set up for the Nk2 convenience everyone wants these days.. Nevertheless, when I revamped my electronics a few years back I went with the Simrad TP22. It's the middle of the three tiller pilot offerings from Navico-Simrad-B&G. it is comparable to the Ray 2000. The entry level TP12 has enough juice to steer my 27 footer, but it is not N2k compatible. And that is a priority with me. When connected to the network, the tiller pilot can be controlled by the chart plotter/multi-function display. I use the B&G Vulcan to control everything. There is a auto pilot control page in the display, it takes care of everything by integrating all the other instruments.... so it's easy to simply steer by a programed course, compass heading, true wind or apparent wind by simply clicking a button or two. Of course, as with all tiller pilots, the boat's rig needs to be balanced for efficient performance.
