Azimut Advice

New boat? First, get it surveyed before you sign off and take possession.

How long do you intend to use it before shipping it? You'll have many warranty issues that need to be addressed and most would say to do so before shipping it.

Now, perhaps Azimut Yachts Mexico provide better service than Marine Max. Have you inquired of them to see if they'll provide warranty service and where they can do so, as I see no coastal locations for them. Or are you going to run to San Diego for service by Alexander?

I always believe in a good shake down cruise before leaving the area of the service provider.

Yes, absolutely, and that kicks off the service needed initially. Unfortunately, if the contract didn't provide for a survey prior to possession, the seller doesn't have to consent.

Yes true but as a buyer I can’t imagine entering into a seven figure new boat deal without that contingency. At any rate the seller can’t stop you from bringing a surveyor along for sea trials and they can’t stop him from performing a non invasive inspection at that time.

Racors, secondaries, Belts, zincs and impellers for mains and gens
Replacement raw water pump for gens
Voltage regulator for the gen, and possibly engine controller depending on model.
If the boat doesn’t have fuel priming pumps for the mains and gens, have them installed.

Replacement fuses for whatever system requires them like autopilot, generator etc.
Replacement air con sea water pump unless boat has a back up already plumbed. Same with fresh water pump...

and being an Italian boat, electrical diagrams

Well, This could be an interesting demand. Where are the ships schematic for all systems?
One heck of a demand for a new Mut owner..
And if you get anything in print, hang on to it close. You may be selling copies at ransom prices.
I would like to know what is delivered to a new Mut owner these days.
I do hope your delivery and last movements work out well and safe.
Please keep us in touch with all your new adventures.

I f you have missed it thru the years on YF, some of us have serviced some AziMuts. Never a schematic to be found for any system.
Please, If you can get any documentation on your internal system wires and plumbing, a new purchase has the best argument to get anything.
Your next servicing tech will appreciate it and hours will be saved.

Let me point out too that Azimut's have a far better reputation everywhere than in the US and the reputation in the US is heavily tied to their warranty provider, Marine Max. I don't know their reputation in Mexico, but feel better about the provider there I don't know than the one here I do know.

Any pumps that are Italian
Any switches, breakers or contactors that are Italian
Anything that is Italian

They were very very popular in Zihuatanejo with a local dealer some years back.

His post was not being critical, simply addressing the question of parts to carry. Italian parts are difficult to find in the US and in Mexico. This isn't the thread for recommending a boat to the OP. They bought a boat. It's for providing them advice relative to the successful use of that boat. Azimut parts are difficult to find here. As an aside, there was an Italian parts store here in the area, but it was horribly run and is gone. Meanwhile, Ferretti Group does an excellent job of stocking parts, but Ferretti parts are completely different than Azimut parts.

I would think that in most cases they should be able to use a Local equivalent at least for fresh water pumps, bilge and sump pumps, air con pumps etc. yes you have to tweak the mounts and brackets but it s all pretty standard stuff. Switches and relays may be more difficult. Euro style circuit breakers can be found here in the US and probably in Mexico.
