EASY DRAIN
ENGINEERED FOR MARINE DEMANDS
The engine's aluminum blocks and fresh water cooling is constructed specifically for marine use. For greater durability, the engines inner components are fully protected from exposure to salt or sea water and are cooled through an internal water cooling system. And with the convenient Easy Drain solution, you quickly and easily drain all the raw water from your engine – with a single push of a button.
FEATURES
DIRECT FUEL INJECTION
The move from multi-port technology to direct injection means atomized gas enters the combustion chamber at 2250 psi. Compression ratios of up to 11.5:1 create a cleaner burn and fewer emissions. So more energy comes from each drop of fuel.
VARIABLE VALVE TIMING
We refused to accept the compromise of a fixed camshaft. Variable valve timing now allows each movement of the intake and exhaust valve to be optimized for speed and load. You’ll have higher torque and acceleration across the full range of RPM’s.
LIGHTWEIGHT ALUMINUM BLOCK
Our new lightweight aluminum blocks weigh 41 lbs. less than older cast-iron models. Low-friction, lightweight pistons and a cast aluminum oil pan help us provide up to 15% improvement in the power-to-weight ratio.
FRESH WATER COOLING
It’s no secret, engines with fresh water cooling last longer and run better. Our closed loop cooling system eliminates exposure to saltwater, providing greater engine durability and higher resale value.
WIDEBAND OXYGEN SENSORS
Our new wideband oxygen sensors read a greater range of air/fuel values. Now engine performance is optimized regardless of altitude, weather or variable fuel blends.
CLEAN & POWERFUL
On the water you’ll notice exhaust fumes are virtually eliminated, because these are the cleanest marine gas engines on the market today. CO emissions are reduced by 95% at idle, exceeding current EPA, and future EU, emission requirements. Volvo Penta Next Generation gasoline engines are five times cleaner than outboards at a similar horsepower.
Compared to outboards
- Duoprop for better handling and performance.
- Freshwater cooling as standard for longer service life.
- Lower center of gravity – a more comfortable ride.
- Engine safely inside the boat – longer service life.
- Higher theft protection – engine built into the boat.
- Optional Powertrim assistant and Tow-mode with Electronic Vessel Control (EVC).
- Uncluttered transom – easy access to the water.
- Increased fuel economy
Compared to inboards
- Reduced sound and vibrations – better onboard comfort
- Improved handling and easier maneuvering
- Compact, integrated installation at the stern gives more onboard space
- Duoprop for better handling and performance
- Higher fuel efficiency – better thrust angles give you better performance.
- Kick-up function on drive for impact protection
- Exhausts emitted through drive, into prop and washed away from boat
- Powertrim and optional Powertrim assistant to automatically optimize ride
