Features may include

Steerable pods provide convenient slow-speed maneuverability and enhanced high-speed handling. The joystick simplifies docking, even in confined spaces, and the enhanced maneuverability supports an efficient driver response – which can improve safety on board.

This optimized package provides enhanced performance and improved maneuverability. By working in undisturbed water, the forward-facing propellers further improve performance.

This package is designed to deliver reduced noise and enhanced onboard comfort. A combined rubber suspension and seal help absorb propulsion forces and vibrations, and all exhaust fumes are emitted through the pods and into the prop wash to enhance comfort on board.

Volvo Penta Electronic Vessel Control easily integrates into the propulsion system, offering you a range of optional features such as Joystick Docking, Dynamic Positioning System, and the Glass Cockpit.

The engine is designed and built for strength, utilizing advanced technology and materials. Together, the engine and pod form a compact, durable, and efficient package designed for ease of installation. This provides you with reliable performance and long-term durability.
