Back on track here: As I understand it, CMD was formed to market the Cummins deisel/ZF pod package as the "Mercury" Zeus drive in order to compete with Volvo Penta's IPS system. Volvo Penta has now sold over 12,000 IPS units in three size ranges. I have never seen a Zeus-powered boat other than at boat shows. Is CMD even a financially viable company at this point?
