Volvo Penta IPS is highly suited for sport fishing. The stern is unobstructed and the propellers are located under the hull where the risk of the line becoming entangled is minimal. Volvo Penta is now launching a function that has been specially developed for deep sea sport fishing, the “sport fish mode”.

The arrival of the bow propeller has made mooring both easier and safer. However, the view from the wheel is not always perfect. Here is the cure: The QL Wireless Thruster Remote Control is a remote control that can be used anywhere aboard the boat. The driver can manoeuvre the bow and stern propellers from wherever the view is best.

Volvo Penta is now launching a two-blade version of its highly successful folding propeller for sail-boats. The propeller, already previously available with a choice of three or four blades, is now available for boats with engines from seven horsepower and on. The new propeller offers the same benefits of low resistance under sail, high thrust during engine operation and a highly dependable opening function.

Keeping perfect trim angle and compensating for heel used to be a challenge for any helmsman. Not anymore! With the new Automatic Boat Trim system from QL, the ride is always perfect. All the helmsman needs to do is push the “A”-button and let QL Automatic Boat Trim do the rest.

A delayed aircraft sparked an idea that would turn out to be nothing short of ingenious. A Volvo Penta engineer was looking out across Newark Airport’s lively traffic as he waited for his flight to be called, and he became fascinated with the variety of aircraft on the tarmac. Some had two engines, others three and still others had four engines. So why shouldn’t boats also adopt this varied approach?

Volvo Penta is further reinforcing its position as the world leader in sterndrive engines. The new Aquamatic range includes the world’s most powerful diesel sterndrive engine and the world’s most powerful four-cylinder diesel engine.

Up to now the use of biofuel at sea has been a problem. However now Neste Oil is launching its second generation of biofuel, with considerably improved features. Volvo Penta is participating in its evaluation, and has a very positive view of this fuel’s future.

When Volvo Penta IPS takes a step into the Sportsfishing segment, it is not on just any boat. American boat builder Spencer Yachts, with a worldwide reputation in sportsfishing, offers the perfect Sportsfishing yacht with its new 43 footer.
