Volvo Penta Aquamatic Sterndrive V6‐SX is a fully integrated package, powered by the 6‐cylinder, 4.3‐liter, freshwater‐cooled, direct‐injected gasoline engine. Paired with the well-matched SX single‐prop drive, this package provides 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

SX Drive

The SX Single prop drive has a lightweight, hydrodynamic design to support improved speed and performance. The durable internal drive train contributes to a longer service life, while the high-capacity through-the-drive exhaust reduces noise and enhances the efficiency of the drive package.
