Transmisii

Volvo Penta is the number one innovator in drive technology for boats and develop, manufacture and service the whole package.

1959 saw the introduction of the Aquamatic, the world's first in what is now known as sterndrives. In 1974, the Saildrive for sailboats and yachts and in 1982 the Duoprop.

Today's line-up of drives is second to none, with the whole range launched in the last 5 years.

Every Volvo Penta drive is a part of a complete propulsion system. The drive is specially developed to work with a series of engines and you cannot freely combine drives and engines. This integration means you get:

    * High performance
    * Low fuel consumtion
    * High reliability
    * Long service life
    * Low noise and vibrations
    * Loads of driving fun!

DPH Duoprop

Specially developed for the D4 and D6 diesel engines, capable of handling their immense torque. Extremely efficient and reliable, DPH powers flybridge boats and sport cruisers well over 40 feet/10 tons as well as sport boats, fishing boats, catamarans and much more.

    * Immensely robust to handle massive torque forces.
    * External hydraulic steering cylinders.
    * Patented X-act steering with perfect control and driving feel.
    * Patented, high-strength, nickel, aluminium, bronze propellers.
    * Electronic shift.

DPR Duoprop

The high-speed version of the DPH Duoprop drive. Developed exclusively for boats with top speeds in excess of 45 knots. The DPR gives amazing performance combined with safe and easy driving.

    * Immensely robust to handle massive torque forces.
    * External hydraulic steering cylinders.
    * Patented X-act steering with perfect control and driving feel.
    * Stainless steel propellers.
    * Electronic shift.

DPS Duoprop

The DPS Duoprop drive is perfectly matched for V6 and V8 gasoline engines, plus the D3 sport diesel. Built for performance and driving fun, it is the perfect companion aboard a sport boat, sport cruiser, sport fisher, bow rider etc.

    * Hydrodynamically advanced design giving better speed and performance.
    * Extremely durable internal drive train for longer service life.
    * Low weight for better performance.
    * Low maintenance need (e.g. only 2 anodes and maintenance-free gimbal ring).
    * High capacity through-the-drive exhausts for greatly reduced sound and smell.
    * Integrated speedometer pick up.

SX Single prop

The SX drive is the best single propeller alternative in the market. The wide rudder area gives precise handling - especially important for close quarters manoeuvrering. Top speed is maximised by the hydrodynamically designed lower housing which also host technically advanced transmission features. SX is a solid base for true boating fun!

    * Hydrodynamically advanced design giving better speed and performance.
    * Durable internal drive train for longer service life.
    * Low weight for better performance.
    * Minimal maintenance need (e.g. only 2 anodes and maintenance-free gimbal ring).
    * High capacity through-the-drive exhausts for greatly reduced sound and smell.
    * Integrated speedometer pick up.

130S Saildrive

The 130S Saildrive is developed for engines up to 55 hp. It gives quiet and practically vibration free running for excellent on board comfort, very low water resistance under sail, plus efficient thrust under power thanks to the propeller shaft being totally horizontal.

Service is easy with no need for annual shaft angle check and possible realignment plus oil change possible from inside the boat. Replacing the anode is possible without dismantling the propeller.

150S Saildrive

The 150S Saildrive is developed for engines up to 75 hp. It gives quiet and practically vibration free running for excellent on board comfort, very low water resistance under sail, plus efficient thrust under power thanks to the propeller shaft being totally horizontal.

Service is easy with no need for annual shaft angle check and possible realignment plus oil change possible from inside the boat. Replacing the anode is possible without dismantling the propeller.
