Volvo Penta D11-IPS is a well-matched package, powered by the in-line 6-cylinder D11, a 10.8-liter, common-rail diesel with a twin-entry turbo, and supercharger for enhanced low rpm response. Working together with a well-matched IPS20 pod, twin counter-rotating propellers, and the Electronic Vessel Control system, this package offers you enhanced maneuverability, extended range, and reduced emissions.
Maneuverability
Steerable pods provide enhanced slow-speed
maneuverability and improved high-speed handling.
Docking is simplified, even in confined spaces. The
enhanced maneuverability also supports an efficient
driver response, which can improve safety on board.
Enhanced performance
This well-matched, integrated engine and pod System
includes a twin-entry turbo and supercharger, providing
enhanced performance and improved maneuverability
throughoutthe operating range. By working in
undisturbed water, the forward-facing propellers
enhance the performance even further.
Comfort
The engine and pod System is designed to reduce noise
and create a comfortable onboard environment. A
combined rubber suspension and seal are used to
absorb propulsion forces and vibrations. Exhaust fumes
are directed through the pods and into the prop wash,
contributing to improved onboard comfort.
