Default GB going to Zeus drives (pods) on a new 2008 model

It's one thing to ding the bottom or even a reef with a standard
inboard...you might get get away unscathed, or you might damage a prop
blade or, well, sure, worse things can happen. But the kinds of repair
bills "Zeus" will enable...whoooo-hoooooo.


And yet two years into deployment and there are no reported failures of the
IPS systems.

So much for luddites like you Harry.

Better efficiency, better manueverability and better engine room layout.
Sounds like a great idea.
