The bracket adjusts from 135 to 240 mm (5.31 to 9.44 in) so you can set the pilot at the right reach and keep clearances where you need them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is used when the tiller pilot needs a fixed “shore side” attachment on a coaming or bulkhead instead of a flat mounting pad. The mounting pattern includes five holes so the horizontal spacing can be shifted to line up the pilot cleanly with the tiller connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a mechanical autopilot mounting accessory, not a chartplotter or display bracket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable reach from 135 to 240 mm (5.31 to 9.44 in) for dialing in cockpit geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits Simrad TP Series tiller pilots for vertical-surface installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive mounting holes let you shift horizontal spacing to match the pilot’s alignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides a fixed terminating point for the outboard end of a tiller pilot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps keep the pilot positioned consistently when mounted on a cockpit coaming or bulkhead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bracket is intended for Simrad TP Series tiller pilot setups where the pilot mounts to a vertical face. Before ordering, measure the distance from the proposed mounting surface to the tiller attachment point and confirm the pilot will operate through the full steering range without binding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eMount the bracket to a flat, rigid vertical surface such as a cockpit coaming or bulkhead, then set the bracket length so the tiller pilot sits square to the tiller and has room to extend and retract. Use appropriate marine fasteners and backing support for thin fiberglass panels, seal any drilled holes, and check for interference with lockers, seat lids, and sheet leads through the full swing of the tiller.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis style of bracket is a good match for tiller-steered sailboats that use a TP Series tiller pilot and need a clean, repeatable mounting position in the cockpit. It is commonly used for short-handed sailing where the pilot stays installed and ready, while still keeping the cockpit layout workable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse the bracket after saltwater use and periodically re-check fasteners for tightness. If the bracket is installed in a high-splash area, a quick freshwater rinse helps prevent salt buildup around the mounting points.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simrad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269678166197,"sku":"QBP159278","price":109.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1300973_qbp159278.jpg?v=1771545185","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp159278","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
