Azimut, the Italian builder of flybridge and sports motor yachts, is a common sight in Turkish marinas.
1. Why a Separate Guide for Azimut?
Complex systems and high installed power put the weight of the survey on machinery, shaft lines and electrics.
Common models: Azimut 40-78 Flybridge, S ve Magellano serileri.
2. What We Look at Closely
On top of the standard survey scope, these are the points we pay particular attention to on a Azimut. They are not faults of the make; they are where findings most often appear on boats of this type and use.
Main engines under load
Each engine is run through stepped loads: temperatures, pressures, smoke, rpm and the difference between engines recorded. Compression and blowby tests, if needed, are coordinated with an independent engine technician.
Shaft lines, propellers and seals
Shaft bearings, seal tightness, propeller damage and vibration; maker service records if IPS or surface drives are fitted.
Generator, air conditioning and electrics
Generator under load, AC circuits, AC/DC panels and leakage current measured; thermal camera for hot connections.
Flybridge and superstructure
Flybridge attachment, gelcoat cracking and sealing; ladder and rail fastenings.
Hydraulic systems
Passerelle, bathing platform, trim tabs and stabilisers where fitted; leaks and function test.
Underwater hull
Hull moisture ashore, around trim tabs and propellers, and cathodic protection readings.
Points We Pay Attention To on This Make
These are not claims of defects. They are the places we spend extra time on boats of this build; every boat is judged on its own use and maintenance history.
Flybridge, S, Magellano and Grande
- By drive type: bellows, anodes and service records on pods; alignment, seals and cutless bearings on shafts.
- Exhaust line and elbows.
- Generator and air-conditioning hours.
- Sealing of glazing and window gaskets.
- Hydraulics: trim tabs, swim platform, hatches.
- Electrical panel and shore connection.
