Volvo Penta Aquamatic Sterndrive V8‐DPS is a fully integrated package, powered by the 8‐cylinder, 5.3‐liter or 6.2-liter, freshwater‐cooled, direct‐injected gasoline engine with catalyst. Paired with the well-matched DPS Duoprop drive, this package provides reduced emission levels, responsive handling, and strong acceleration.

Features & Benefits

Compact and lightweight design

The compact engine-drive design facilitates installation. With an aluminum cylinder block and head, low-friction, lightweight pistons, and a cast-aluminum oil pan, the engine provides an improved power-to-weight ratio.
Features & Benefits

Direct injection technology

The direct injection fuel system enables a high compression ratio, extracting more energy from each drop of fuel. This contributes to reduced fuel consumption and emission levels.
Features & Benefits

Variable valve timing

With variable valve timing, the movement of each intake and exhaust valve is adjusted for speed and load. This ensures consistent combustion across varying rpm, contributing to improved torque and acceleration throughout the rpm range.
Features & Benefits

Freshwater‐cooled engine

The freshwater cooling system is designed to extend engine lifespan and improve performance. The closed-loop system prevents seawater exposure inside the engine, reducing corrosion and contributing to improved engine durability and resale value.
Features & Benefits

Easy Drain system

With the Easy Drain system, the engine is drained from raw water in just minutes. Thanks to the anti‐siphon valve, this is possible with the boat still in the water.
Features & Benefits

DPS Drive

Hydrodynamic design and high gear train efficiency for higher speeds and better performance enhance the boating experience. Duoprop propellers are designed to form a vital part of the driveline, providing efficient and predictable handling.
