Volvo Penta Aquamatic Sterndrive V6‐DPS is a totally integrated package, powered by the 6‐cylinder, 4.3‐liter, freshwater‐cooled, direct‐injected gasoline engine. Working together with the perfectly matched DPS Duoprop drive, this package offers excellent handling, and impressive acceleration power.
Features & Benefits
Compact and lightweight package
The compact engine‐drive package facilitates installation. Thanks to the aluminum cylinder block and cylinder head, the low‐friction, lightweight pistons, and a cast‐aluminum oil pan, the power‐toweight ratio is excellent.
Features & Benefits
Direct injection technology
The direct injection fuel system enables high compression ratio with more energy coming from each drop of fuel – thus reducing both fuel consumption and emission levels.
Features & Benefits
Variable valve timing
With the variable valve timing, each movement of the intake and exhaust valve can be optimized for speed and load. Combustion will always be correct irrespective of rpm, resulting in higher torque and acceleration across the whole rpm range.
Features & Benefits
Freshwater‐cooled engine
The freshwater cooling system makes the engine last longer and run better. The closed‐loop system eliminates seawater exposure inside the engine, prevents corrosion and improves the engine’s durability and resale value.
Features & Benefits
Easy Drain system
With the Easy Drain system, the engine is drained from raw water in just minutes.
