    MarineMax sell lots of Galeon Yachts and Azimut Yachts. Most of them are powered by VP IPS.
    Like it or not the VP IPS is a big success.
    The Zeus drive by Cummins/Merc is more or less gone.

    Volvo Penta is a Swedish based company and must follow laws set up by the Swedish Government and they are mildly said "liberal"

    Well..that’s not correct.
    Ford sold Volvo Cars to China.
    The Chinese owns around 10% of the other part of Volvo including trucks heavy equipment and Volvo Penta.

    What was the failure of the Zeus?

    Or simple as packaging like Volvo trucks and buses, the whole package made the best deal?

    Zeus more or less disappeared when the Cummins/Mercury diesel engine agreement ended a few years ago.
