Enhance your boating experience with the Simrad TB120 Tiller Bracket, a precision-engineered accessory measuring 120mm (4.72 inches) tailored specifically for Simrad autopilot comp uter systems. This robust bracket provides a secure and reliable mounting solution for tiller steering setups, ensuring seamless integration with your autopilot for effortless navigation on the water. Why the Simrad TB120 Tiller Bracket Stands Out Crafted from durable marine-grade materials, the TB120 withstands harsh saltwater environments, UV exposure, and constant vibration from rough seas. Unlike generic mounts, its thoughtful design minimizes play and backlash, delivering precise control that translates to straighter courses and reduced helm fatigue during long voyages. Boaters trust it for its straightforward fit that aligns perfectly with Simrad's tiller pilot actuators, making it an essential upgrade for small to mid-sized vessels with tiller rudders. Perfect Compatibility for Seamless Autopilot Performance The TB120 is optimized for popular Simrad autopilot models, including those in the TP series like the TP10, TP22, and compatible computer packs. It mounts directly to the tiller arm without modifications, supporting hydraulic or electric ram systems. Whether you're retrofitting an existing setup or building a new one, this bracket ensures your autopilot responds instantly to steering inputs, maintaining heading accuracy even in choppy conditions. Universal Fit: Adapts to various tiller arm thicknesses up to 25mm. Corrosion-Resistant: Anodized aluminum construction for longevity. Compact Profile: Low-profile design preserves cockpit space. Effortless Installation Tips for Optimal Results Installing the TB120 is a breeze for any DIY boater. Begin by aligning the bracket with your tiller arm's pivot point, securing it with the included stainless steel hardware. Torque bolts to manufacturer specs to avoid slippage, then attach your Simrad autopilot ram. Test in calm waters first, adjusting cable tension for zero lost motion. Pro tip: Apply marine grease to pivot points annually to keep movements smooth and silent. Real-World Benefits for Serious Boaters With the TB120, you'll notice immediate improvements in autopilot reliability—fewer manual corrections mean more time enjoying the journey. It's ideal for coastal cruising, fishing charters, or weekend sails where consistent steering is key. Anglers appreciate how it frees hands for rods, while racers value the responsive handling that shaves seconds off tacks. Long-term, it reduces wear on your tiller and autopilot components, saving maintenance headaches down the line. Care and Maintenance for Peak Performance To maximize lifespan, rinse the bracket with fresh water after every saltwater outing. Inspect bolts and pivots seasonally, tightening as needed. Avoid over-torquing, which can strip threads. In storage, keep it dry to prevent corrosion— a simple cover works wonders. With proper care, the TB120 delivers years of trouble-free service. { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "What is the Simrad TB120 Tiller Bracket used for?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "The TB120 is a 120mm mounting bracket designed to connect Simrad autopilot rams to tiller steering systems on boats, enabling automated steering control." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Which Simrad autopilot models is the TB120 compatible with?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "It works seamlessly with TP series tiller pilots like TP10 and TP22, as well as various Simrad autopilot computer systems featuring tiller actuators." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What materials is the TB120 made from?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Constructed from anodized marine-grade aluminum with stainless steel fasteners for superior corrosion resistance in saltwater environments." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How do I install the Simrad TB120 Tiller Bracket?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Align it on the tiller arm, secure with provided bolts, attach the autopilot ram, and test for smooth operation.
