Volvo Pentas 6-cylinder D6-370

is developed from the latest

design in modern diesel technol-
ogy. The engine has common
rail fuel injection system, double
overhead camshafts, 4 valves per
cylinder, turbocharger, compres-
sor, and aftercooler. The interac-
tion of these, the large swept vol-
ume, and the EVC system results
in exceptional diesel performance
combined with low emissions.
VOLVO PENTA AQUAMATIC DUOPROP
D6-370/DP
272 kW (370 hp) crankshaft power acc. to ISO 8665

Exceptional diesel performance
World-class performance
The common rail fuel injection system, con-
trolled by EVC, and the compressor, in com-
bination with a large swept volume, ensure
unique torque over the whole speed range.
The acceleration is very powerful, with virtu-
ally no sign of smoke. This matched with the
engines high load carrying capability creates
a sporty feeling and power, when needed.
Compact and robust
The engine is lightweight and extremely
compact for its large swept volume and high
output. With the rear-end transmission, driv-
ing the high-pressure injection pump and the
camshafts, a high degree of integrated sys-
tems, a high-efciency aftercooler, a marin-
ization performed with very few hoses, and a
fully symmetric engine, the package simply
gets that compact.
The rigid cast-iron cylinder block and head,
ladder frame, and exactly controlled (up to
three steps) fuel injection gives excellent on-
board comfort with low noise and vibration
levels.
EVC-D
EVC-D, a new generation of the proven Elec-
tronic Vessel Control offers the best driver
experience available!
The new ergonomically designed controls
engage smoothly and allow for maneuver-
ing with ngertip precision in any situation.
Integrated pushbuttons give easy access to
functions such as Power Trim Assistant, Tow
Mode and Single Lever Control, which allows
for safe and easy boating.
Complete the helm with your choice from the full
range of easy to read gauges and displays includ-
ing the new 7" color display. Add the trip computer
function for accurate fuel management and mini-
mized environmental impact.
Engine synchronisation is of course standard in
twin installations.
The Duoprop drive
The corrosion-resistant aluminum drive is based
on the experience with the well-proven original
DP drive, and fully matched to the very powerful
engine. The modern styling, the hydrodynamic de-
sign for low drag, and the Duoprop high strength
bronze propellers, specially developed for the
drive, make the package complete. This results in
unbeatable boat characteristics in terms of accel-
eration, top speed, and drivability.
The drive comes equipped with fully hydraulic
further developed X-act steering. It features inte-
grated external steering cylinders, controlled by
an exact feedback valve as standard.
The integrated exhaust system and seawater in-
take, a hallmark for Volvo Penta, are also standard.
Meeting new emission standards
The common rail injection system in combination
with electronics and an advanced combustion
system are setting new standards in minimizing
noxious emissions and particulates. The engine
complies with IMO NOx limits and the compre-
hensive emission requirements EU RCD and
US EPA Tier 2.
The DP drive has been designed to lead ex-
haust gases into the propeller path, to avoid the
station wagon effect and keep noise levels at a
minimum.
