Wanted: Need help with Navico 5500 Tillerpilot

[speedoo]

Acquired one with a boat I just bought. It seems to work fine.

The Owner's manual is mostly destroyed, and I am looking for someone who has the manual who might loan it to me for copying.

please e-mail me at altu64@hotmail.com.

Thanks.

The TP5500 is about 15 years old and is now considered obsolete. And Simrad does not have any manuals for it.

But thanks for the idea.

I -may- have a manual for you. I use one of them Navico tiller pilots, bought it new in 1992. I LOVE it! Works Great! Still works great!

1 click - 1 degree change
hold down for double beep - 10 degree change
Direction & Start/stop - 90 degree tac.

Hope this helps. Were still unpacking from the move to the PNW. When the boat stuff uncoveres I'll see what I can do in digging it out.

Hi Jim Lee, reading your reply to Speedoo I too have just bought a boat with this Tiller Pilot 5500 but with out a manual. I used it for the first time and it was fine until it started reading "error". I think the compass needed resetting or something! However, did you manage to find your manual for yours and if so could you email me a copy please?
If not any ideas where I might get a copy from?

Regards Brian

I just bought a boat with the same, take delivery this weekend and their is a manual. I also have a PDF that PO sent me and I will email that along to you right now.

Oh, I just looked at the date of your post...nevermind...

[speedoo]

Hi, actually I think there are a number of people still looking for this manual. Could you kindly email the pdf to me at:

altu64@hotmail.com

Thanks!

[navigator]

I sent it, I wonder if I can attach it here?

[speedoo]

Did not receive it. When did you send?

I think you'd have to put up a link here, if you have a site you can put it on.

[navigator]

Sent to the address you put in post at 6:24 pm est.

[speedoo]

Got it, thanks. I will email the pdf to some folks who were looking for it.

By the way, congrats on your boat!

I also just received this one as a "gift" from the previous boat owner. The connectors are messed up, so I brought it home to see if I could repair it. Could I also get the manual sent my way?

[navigator]

You sure can, just need contact information
