Volvo Penta D8-IPS is a perfectly matched package, powered by the in-line 6-cylinder D8, a 7.7-liter, common-rail diesel with a twin-entry turbo, and supercharger for incredible, low rpm response. The D8-IPS is available in 600, 650, & 700 versions for Commercial applications and 700 & 800 versions for leisure. Working together with a perfectly matched IPS15 pod, twincounter-rotating propellers and the Electronic Vessel Control system, this package offers excellent maneuverability, long action range and low emissions.
Steerable pods provide convenient slow-speed
maneuverability and great high-speed handling. Docking
is simplified, even in confined spaces. The enhanced
maneuverability also supports an efficient driver
response - which can increase safety on board.
This optimized, integrated engine and pod System with a
turbo provides enhanced performance and improved
maneuverability throughout the operating range. By
working in undisturbed water, the forward-facing
propellers improve the performance even more.
The engine and pod System is designed for reduced
noise and an enhanced onboard environment. A
combined rubber suspension and seal help absorb
propulsion forces and vibrations, and ail exhaust fumes
are emitted through the pods and into the prop wash to
enhance comfort.
