Boat Builders view on POD's

Some do....... some don't.........Lol..........sad..., but mostly true..Lol
 
not to mention that many and sometimes very expensive engine warranty issues ( exhaust) are caused by boat builders bad installs, so the more of that that can be pre designed in, the better for everybody
 
just a user review of a twin rig Volvo IPS
Used in and around Singapore, propellers constantly damaged due to there being nothing in front of them to protect them as you might expect.
