Joe,
atop the drives..those the drives themselves,or transmissions.look too small to be main power units.Although pics dont give a good perspective, relative to size.

Both ! this boat ran aground @ 30 knots in the ICW back behind Atlantic City in that small cut that has filled in over last winter - lost both of the drive units , but did NOT sink/sank/sunk , Boat US only recovered one of the two drive units

I have had both IPS units & Zeus units in the yard for repair ..... I favor the Zeus units ......

These Zeus Pod Drives – have a Joy Stick for docking + handing in close quarters, it handles like a big wave runner. Its drives can turn 60 degrees outward & 40 degrees inward. If your wait for a bridge opening, you can just pick a point, and it will hold that position (No need for a bow thruster unit)
