you won't believe this!!
I'm watching a boating show on TV... Mercury has a new engine setup with Cummins diesel. With 2 engines and a new lower end coupled with GPS, you can push a button to get a "skyhook anchor"... ie, boat will automatically stay in the same place (+_ 8 inches) regardless of wind, current, etc. WOW!!

This may be old news but I just found out about it.
