Check your fax dude. I was a little off when I mentioned 100 builders uses the IPS product. There are actually 115 boat builders in 23 countries using IPS. In May this year Volvo Penta shipped it's 10,000th IPS unit. VP introduced IPS in 2004. Merc in 2007. Volvo engineers manufacture the WHOLE unit. Merc uses Cummins engines with these pods. The choice is up to the boater, but I think it's obvious what that choice should be.

@Jolinator is zeus much cheaper then the ips?

[@lam0627]

har har har..i love at 1:01 he smiles as he bottoms out...lol yea...

[@IrollFive]

ips units are designed to shear off in case off heavy impact. Unlike inboard engs that could sink the boat if impacted hard, the ips unit is water tight at the ips/hull joint and won't allow water into the boat. I googled the Thailand incident you refer to and got no hits....

IrollFive: You mean this Thailand incident with IPS. www.yachtforums.com/threads/this-is-what-happens-to-an-ips-propelled-boat-when-it-hits-a-rock.11174/

[@Jolinator]

Zeus is more responsive, don't have to hold joystick down, rear facing props deal with line better and submerged objects, Zeus deals with runarounds/ hits far better, look up the Thailand boat club ips incident on a sunseeker portofino 47, ips didn't sheer off and flooded entire engine compartment, people have reported driving Zeus lower units into concrete walls , retrieve them, replace bolts and refit, try that with ips you'll get a sunken boat
