Volvo marine engines are quite popular in Europe, what do you hear in Ireland in this regard Richard?
I'd say 70% of new boats are Volvo because they offer a great deal to boat builders ' pay us when you sell it', 20% Yanmar and the other 10% divided between Man and Cat in the bigger boats, and least popular of all Cummins.
