So basically they'll be run by bankers. Should be interesting (just think of the profit margin that can be realized by not using marinized parts ).

Thats funny, but worryingly could be true.

Feretti already uses non marine parts in everything in the lazarette. All of the steering parts bolts and hydraulic lines are already steel and look horrible in 6 months.

I been working on Azimuths and Ferrettis for a lot of years.

BCS steering is garbage. The steering helms are weak and cant even stand the force of pulling the wheel like Hynautic or Seastar steering helms. I have changed BCS steering helms and came back and changed then out again 2 months later. The BCS steering pump is a mounted on top of a plastic box. If the pump runs long periods of time, the motor overheats and drops into the plastic box.

The Ramacotti Fresh Water pumps need to be rebuilt. When the water tank goes empty the pumps run dry and have meltdown. I just change them to HeadHunter Mark5 and when the water tank runs dry the pumps shut off, no brainer there.

The Azimuth 100 has a inflatable gasket at the back door. When the air compressor doesn't work everything in that compartment gets wet and rusty. The steering system, all the tender hose fittings, all the equipment in that compartment gets ruined.

yachtmd,

In the future please try to post comprehensible sentences and paragraphs, not one single run-on paragraph randomly punctuated with commas, and not a single period.
