Sydney International Boat Show 2012

Sydney International Boat Show

 Sydney International Boat Show wrapped up on Monday 6th August and as the highest attended boat show in the country of boating enthusiasts with patron numbers just shy of 64,000 this year the air was certainly very positive across exhibitors and those visiting the show. 

Volvo Penta unveiled a brand new light, bright and space-ous display which took out the Best Overall Display at the Show. 

Sydney 2012 was also the release for the new V8-380hp petrol engine which made a big impression in situ at the front of the display.

New boat sales were reported by local business partners, luxury vessel manufacturers Maritimo and Riviera, with strong leads also received by a number of other marine leisure boat builders and Volvo Penta global partners.

Repowering Your Vessel

Joystick Docking

The ideal situation would be if you could predict exactly when your engine has given all it can, but this is not possible.  The best advice is to change before the old one gives up the ghost and avoid being left without a boat in the middle of boating season.  

Your Volvo Penta Dealer will be able to help you to work out the best repowering option and may offer you a trade-in price for your old engine. Repowering in the off season will also allow plenty of time to check other vital aspects and operations of your boat to ensure that you don't end up being towed back into your local port!

FINDING A COMPETENT DEALER

Choosing a suitable partner is just as important as choosing the right engine.  Look for a reputable dealer with experience of repowering jobs like the one you are planning.  If you choose one of Volvo Penta's authorised dealers, you can take advantage of all of the competence at their disposal, with detailed and continuously updated installation literature and tools to optimise your installation, saving you money in the long run. 
Make sure you get a detailed and all-inclusive proposal from your dealer which should be based on a complete inspection of your boat.  Consider water, exhaust, air, fuel and electric/electronic systems which may also be affected through repowering.

READY TO ENJOY

When the repower procedure has been completed, it is important that you satisfy yourself that everything you specified has been done and to familiarise yourself with the new features of your boat.  Volvo Penta has procedures for handing over the boat and for supplying you will all the information you need to competently handle your boat. 

Your authorised installation dealer should go through the new features of your boat and answer any questions that you may have.
