Customer Questions & Answers

  • Question: What is the Davis Instruments Tiller Tamer and how does it work?

    Answer: The Davis Instruments Tiller Tamer is a sailing accessory designed to keep your boat on course without the need for constant manual steering. It works by applying a tension system that holds the tiller in place, allowing for hands-free sailing in various wind conditions. The simple yet effective design enhances your sailing experience, making it easier to manage other tasks onboard, such as navigating or adjusting sails. This functionality is particularly valuable during long journeys or when sailing solo, ensuring you maintain a steady course.
  • Question: Can the Tiller Tamer handle strong winds?

    Answer: Yes, the Tiller Tamer is built to maintain course in strong wind conditions. The robust design and adjustable tension allow sailors to fine-tune the system according to wind strength. This means whether you are facing a gentle breeze or gusty winds, the Tiller Tamer adapts to ensure stability, enhancing safety and control while sailing. It’s ideal for sailors who often navigate in variable and challenging weather.
  • Question: Is the Tiller Tamer suitable for all boat sizes?

    Answer: The Tiller Tamer is versatile and can be used on various small to medium-sized sailboats. It's designed to accommodate different tiller setups, making it a universal solution for many sailing enthusiasts. However, for larger vessels, additional systems may be more appropriate due to the increased steering loads. It’s always best to check compatibility with your specific boat type to ensure optimal performance.
  • Question: What material is the Tiller Tamer made from?

    Answer: The Tiller Tamer is constructed from durable marine-grade materials that resist corrosion and wear from harsh marine environments. This longevity ensures that the device remains functional and effective over time, even with consistent exposure to water and sun. Its robust build is designed to withstand the rigors of sailing while maintaining its performance, which is critical for safety at sea.
  • Question: How does the Tiller Tamer improve sailing efficiency?

    Answer: By allowing hands-free steering, the Tiller Tamer significantly improves sailing efficiency. It enables sailors to focus on other essential tasks without the constant need to hold the tiller. For example, you can concentrate on sail adjustments, read navigational charts, or enjoy the scenery, all while ensuring a steady course. This multitasking ability can make long ventures more enjoyable and productive.
  • Question: Can I install the Tiller Tamer myself?

    Answer: Yes, the Tiller Tamer is designed for straightforward installation, allowing most sailors to set it up without professional assistance. The package typically includes clear instructions that guide you through the installation process. This convenience means you can quickly add this useful tool to your sailing gear and get back on the water without delays.
  • Question: How does weather affect the performance of the Tiller Tamer?

    Answer: The Tiller Tamer is engineered to perform reliably across a range of weather conditions. Its ability to maintain course regardless of wind direction or strength is a key feature. However, extreme weather conditions can still pose risks, so it’s always essential to use judgment and skill when sailing in unfamiliar or turbulent environments. This tool helps minimize strain on the sailor, making it beneficial during long hours at sea.
  • Question: What makes the Tiller Tamer different from other steering systems?

    Answer: Unlike conventional autopilot systems, the Tiller Tamer does not require batteries or elaborate setups. Its mechanical simplicity provides an efficient and affordable solution for maintaining course. This makes it especially appealing for casual sailors and those looking for a lightweight steering aid. Its effectiveness without the complexities of electronic systems highlights its value in recreational sailing.
  • Question: What is the range of adjustment for the Tiller Tamer?

    Answer: The Tiller Tamer features an adjustable tension mechanism that allows users to find the perfect setting according to wind conditions and sailing preferences. This flexibility ensures that it can effectively hold the tiller in place whether you're dealing with light breezes or stronger gusts. It enhances user experience by providing personalized steering comfort and stability tailored to specific sailing conditions.

DavisInstruments Hardware Editorial Review

The Davis Tiller Tamer is a simple but effective device for sailors, according to customer reviews. It attaches permanently to the tiller using two screws, but it can be modified to be clamped or zip tied to the tiller for easier removal. The device comes with the screws and the 1/4 inch line needed to operate it, but it does not come with cam cleats. The Tiller Tamer allows sailors to lock the tiller in position hands-free, which is convenient for taking breaks, and it can also be used to secure the tiller/rudder in a stationary position while in port. However, customers noted that the line wears out and breaks easily, especially when exposed to jerking motion from other boats, and they recommend using it only for stationary periods of less than a few hours. Overall, the Davis Tiller Tamer is a great budget option for sailors looking for a hands-free tiller lock.
