| Other engines
I was not trying to promote any other drives, but I do work with boat builders who prefer to specify other engines for some of their range. Engine choice is a big part in choosing a boat, and this has an impact on whether people look at IPS or Zeus.
I also work with integrated control systems linking inputs from hydraulics and other onboard data, so it isn't out of the question that someone could come up with an independant pod system.
Interesting I wasn't aware the IPS had a hold position option, it could get very interesting at the lock gates, as I'm sure once you've used it a bit you may be tempted to wander off...
