TMQ autopilots are a fair dinkum Aussie option for boaties who want reliable, no-nonsense steering offshore and along the coast. Built with local conditions in mind, a TMQ pilot keeps the boat tracking straight without constantly chasing the wheel.
They’re well suited to long runs, trolling sessions and everyday cruising, handling swell, wind and current without over-correcting. Set up right, TMQ autopilots steer smoothly and predictably — exactly what you want when the sea isn’t playing nice.
Check out our range of TMQ marine autopilots, with options to suit different boat sizes, steering systems and boating styles.
