Forward Drive
Our Volvo Penta Forward Drive is a versatile propulsion system designed with safety features and comfort in mind for water sport boats.
Tailored for wakeboard boats
Enjoyment
Comfort and smoothness. The unique placement of the system underneath your water sport boat is designed to reduce noise and provide fresher air compared to a V-drive surf boat.
One of a kind
Expert engineering
Our patented Duoprop technology delivers improved maneuverability, greater low-speed handling and faster acceleration on the plane, compared to an inboard V-drive.
Double the power, double the excitement
Forward drive, now also for larger boats
Through cutting-edge design and relentless innovation, we present the new Twin Forward Drive and the perfectly matched 400 HP engine. A combination for non-stop thrills that can be used on larger boats, allowing more co-adventurers to join.
The Volvo Penta Forward Drive system means you can enjoy everything from surfing to wakeboarding and beyond, with total freedom to relax and enjoy your surroundings with friends and family.
Forward drive technology
A power solution you want to experience. Variable trim angles provide the right thrust for cruising and top speeds. Speeding to plane is significantly faster than conventional inboards, and turns are much tighter and faster thanks to directional thrust.
I love the athletic side of getting to wakeboard and surf and do all of these water sports, and at the same time really appreciate the beauty around us.
Accessories
A great companion for your wakeboard boat
Create your own perfect waves. Our Volvo Penta Water Sport Control utilizes GPS-based speed control, user profiles, and our Boat Trim System to give you custom control over your wake. It’s compatible with our Glass Cockpit system for even more control, and is a must-try for anyone who loves on-the-water adventures.
