Accessories

Get the most out of your engine: lower drag and higher thrust, high-efficiency battery charging, and safe fuel supply with the right accessories. Since Volvo Penta knows your engine, you are better off always choosing Genuine Volvo Penta accessories and parts.

Folding propellers
Minimal drag while sailing. Maximum thrust under power. Quiet, vibration-free running. Three strong reasons for the unique Volvo Penta folding propeller. Large blade area, patented elliptical profile (high skew) and dependable design with tough conical teeth are the features behind the benefits.

Range 5–120 hp:


2-blade. For 5–40 hp.


3-blade. For 25–60 hp.


4-blade. For 55–120 hp.

All models are available for saildrive and shaft.

Propeller shaft system
Complete systems including the unique, high-reliability and low-maintenance shaft sealing.

Electricity and auxiliary
Volvo Penta engines are well equipped as standard with a powerful alternator. But as sailboats often use the engine only for short
periods, and still carry lots of electricity consumers, your Volvo Penta engine can be upgraded with an extra alternator to give truly high-capacity charging.
Extra alternator.  From 60A/12V to 140A/24V. Adapted to the capacity of each engine to ensure efficient charging regardless of engine speed.
Distributor. For handling efficient charging of multiple battery banks.
Power take-off. For powering hydraulics, etc. Adapted to each engine series.

Water system
Reliable onboard water for a more relaxing onboard life.
Water heater. Robust design in stainless steel that meets highest sanitary requirements. The water heater is easily connected to the engine cooling system to heat water with the excess engine heat, and it can also be connected to 110 or 220 V shore power. Five models from 20 to 60 litres.
Water supply pump. Reliable pumps with capacities to suit one or multiple taps. The optional filter protects the water supply pump from contamination and with an accumulator tank, the water flow is more even.


Water heater and air heater

Air heater
This works just like the heating in your car. Perfectly integrated with your engine, it utilizes the excess engine heat and converts it into heated air which is distributed in the cabin or as a defroster.

Oil absorbent
Pads and bilge booms for environmental disposal of petroleum spills. Superabsorbents of oil, yet they do not absorb water.
