Place them wherever you have the bestpossible view for maneuvering. Up to four joystickscan be installed.4Volvo PentaIPS Joystick Easy and logical one-handmaneuvering Move in any direction No time limit Massive maneuvering power No bow or sternthrusters needed Up to four joysticks canbe installed

Follow the fish andbring it homeSlow driving in marinasand canalsLow-speed mode is perfect when driving inmarinas and canals. It is also ideal for trolling.The adjustable Low-speed mode works bya slip coupling in the gearbox, which reducesboat speed at idling by approximately 50%,from 5–6 knots to 2–3 knots.Sportfish mode makes it easy to follow the fish, and bring home the catch. With the pods lockedtoe-out, the driver can turn the boat rapidly using control levers. Sportfish mode is a uniqueVolvo Penta IPS feature, developed exclusively for big-game fishing.Hold your boat’s headingPress a button and the Dynamic Positioning Systemholds your boat’s heading and keeps it within a verylimited area. The perfect feature for waiting at the fueldock or for a bridge or lock to open. When docking, theDynamic Positioning System gives your crew time toprepare fenders and lines.Twin high-precision GPS receivers determinethe boat’s position and heading. Softwarein the EVC system transforms this data intosteering angles, gear shifts and throttlepositions to keep the boat still.5

Why forward facingis so superiorSteerablepodsSteerable pods point the entirethrust in the desired direction.The boat is absolutely coursestable and the turning radiusis tight, with perfect grip andpredictable handling throughthe whole speed range.Volvo Penta IPS provides what seems to be an impossible combination:dramatically improved performance, longer cruising range and, at the sametime, radically reduced CO2 emissions – compared with inboard shafts.6Forward-facing efficiencyVirtually no fumesThe twin counter-rotating propellers face forward and work in undisturbedwater. The propeller thrust is parallel with the hull. All power drives theboat forward.All exhaust fumes are emitted through the pods, into theprop wash and carried well behind the boat for improvedonboard comfort.

The result is around35% better efficiency atcruising than inboard shafts.Cavitation-freeThe propellers are positioned well under the hull to eliminatethe risk of air intrusion and cavitation, even in sharp turns andunder full acceleration.Blade areaequalsefficiencyForward-facing propellers, withno exhausts through the hub,minimize the hub diameter.This gives a proportionally muchlarger active blade area, andbetter grip in the water.7
