Yeah, Chuck, I know. I looked at a number of renderings and schematics
of "Zeus." Your problem here is that you actually believe these news

Yes I do believe:
1. GB will use the Cummins Zeus drive on the 2008 41 Europa
2. Zeus drives are a rear-facing duo-prop pod system designed to be
mounted in a prop tunnel.
3. The engineers at Cummins considered the risk of grounding and
impact when designing the system.
Which of those ideas is untrue?
Cummins could save a lot of dough if they only knew.......they could
put you on staff for 50-times what you now make sitting around posting
to a couple of dozen newsgroups 24/7, (still wouldn't cost them a
dime) fire their mechanical engineers, and you'd be there to tell them
the "truth" about their crappy systems. :-)
Yes, Chuck, I am sure the engineers "considered" the risk of grounding
and impact. They considered it and decided that their customers would be
the guinea pigs. After some of these units are sold, we may actually
read about a few "incidents" that result from these lower units in
"hard" groundings.
Hey, you're the same guy who touted the wonderful technological advances
at the Bayliner factory. Maybe you need a new nick here...how about
"Chopper Gun Chuck"?
