AQUAMATIC FOR MORE VESSELS

Written by

Volvo Penta’s DPI Aquamatic sterndrive is now available as a triple installation – viable for larger boats of up to 60 feet.

The DPI package features a hydraulic clutch that ensures silent and smooth shifting, as well as slipping at low engine rpm for added low- speed manoeuvrability and higher comfort. And together with standard electric steering, the joystick functionality is impressively precise.

The DPI Aquamatic also comes with the optional Dynamic Positioning System (DPS) which automatically maintains a boat’s heading and position, even in strong currents or windy conditions – ideal when docking.

Volvo Penta’s D4 and D6 engines deliver strong torque throughout the engine speed range. The supercharger delivers impressive low-end torque to get the boat up and planing with the turbo taking over at higher rpm to maintain speed.

The transmission and Duoprop propellers are optimised to transmit the torque to the water efficiently, regardless of speed – whether engaging in sharp, high-speed turns or precise harbour manoeuvres.
