Volvo Penta Forward Drive V6 Forward Drive TCC is a fully integrated package, powered by the 6‐cylinder, 4.3‐liter, freshwater‐cooled, direct‐injected gasoline engine with catalyst. Paired with the well-matched Forward Drive TCC Duoprop drive, this package provides protection from corrosive saltwater effects, versatility, reduced noise levels, lower emission levels, 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

TCC for Saltwater Boating

The TCC features a titanium-ceramic coating and additional sensors designed to mitigate the corrosive effects of saltwater.
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

Forward Drive

The forward-facing, Duoprop twin counter-rotating propellers operate in undisturbed water to provide strong thrust, stable tracking, and faster acceleration. Together, the FWD drive and gasoline engine complete the propulsion system with reduced noise and low-level vibration.
