GREENER boating
with the d series
This year, we are proud to introduce a totally new generation
of D3 diesels. These new, low-emission and low-rpm engines
are specially developed to suit the demanding
and environmentally conscious sailboat
owner. But above all, they are another example
of the Volvo Penta Green Commitment.

New D3 advanced and reliable Optimized fuel range

The all-new Volvo Penta D3 is a robust
sailboat engine for reliable performance.
This compact, light engine is available in
110 and 150 hp versions, both with low
2,0002,500 cruising rpm for better
onboard comfort. Easy maneuvering, thanks
to the high torque, is further enhanced by
the electronic shift and throttle.
With the D3 and D4,
advanced trip computer
functions are available.
Trip distance, average speed and instant
fuel consumption will help plan the trip and
not least find the most fuel-efficient
cruising rpm for your boat.

Folding propellers
The fact that a Volvo Penta folding propeller
offers up to 1.5 knots higher speed under sail
compared with a fixed propeller will add greatly
to your sailing pleasure.
But also when cruising under engine
power,the high thrust make them stand out
from the competition. Thanks to the high
performance of the blades, even in reverse,
thepropellers provide excellent maneuverability
in limited areas.
The patented elliptical profile (high skew)
ofthe propeller blades ensures effective,
low-noise operation with minimal vibrations
andnocavitation.
Since 2003, all Volvo Penta folding
propellers are made of a specially
developed, nickel-aluminum-
bronze alloy (nibral) to
minimizecorrosion
andmarine growth.
INSTRUMENTATION

Unclean diesel, water or microorganisms in the fuel can all cause your engine to stop or fail to start.
A pre-filter and a decontaminator are efficient ways to secure safe functionality and reliability
