In Response To: Re: Cummins/ Mercruiser (Rocket)

I saw a prototype at the Miami show. It uses a pusher configuration as opposed to Volvo's puller setup. The interesting part is that they use a variable geometry steering setup that where each drive turns at a different angle in different situations. They claim it will move the boat sideways. One interesting feature is that it interfaces with the GPS and has a station keeping feature that will hold the boats position in a current or wind so that you can rig your dock lines, etc without getting blown into the dock.
