Since they have to make money, they are simply passing that cost to you in one way or another.

Yes, they pass on the cost as the price of the warranty.
I forget how much it was, but I thought it very reasonable for the additional 3 to 4 year coverage beyond the warranties on the individual components.

As I said up-thread:

I also hear {your} point loud and clear, which is exactly why I have laid-in (or will have by the time we leave in August) an extensive array of spares, and why my starboard aft cabin has been fitted with a serious work bench and will be a well-equipped floating repair and maintenance facility.

Thoughts?

Nor an I going to sit around for
Catalina to fix my tub when I have things to do and places to go; I'm planning on replacing from my spares or repairing using my workshop, and then continuing on to the next port with a
Hunter dealer and let the
Hunter network sort it out.
