I have to give you credit Lars... few people can adapt and implement new systems within moments of learning about a new technology. If it only it were this easy during the actual construction! Ultimately, these new pod systems will be much easier to integrate into new and existing hull designs, rather than conventional prop, shaft and rudder configurations.
While podded drives offer many time, space and cost saving benefits, they may not be the drive of choice for higher speed hull designs, unless they are mounted to an extension off the transom that raises their X-Dimension, or... recessed behind a notch/step in the hull. Even with this location, the current systems do not offer trim features. Hopefully engineers will be able to address this in future product offerings.
