PROVEN

In a marine engine, dependability is an from the correct engine specs to pro- obvious benefit.

The dependability that keeps an engine running day in and day out, in all conditions, offers safety advantages that are obvious to those who go to sea.

The dependability that keeps a vessel in service, doing its job, run after run, free of downtime, has rewards that are obvi- ous to those who mind the bottom line.

For over 75 years Volvo Penta Marine engines have proven they can deliver that kind of time-tested dependability.

But there's another definition of de- pendability, not so obvious, but vital to the profitable operation of any working craft or fleet of working craft. And that's dependability when it comes to service and support.

It begins with the installation. We put all of our experience at your disposal, peller calculations, from choice of hyd rauliceauipmentand power ta ke-off dimensioning to speed and torque requirements. ") 1 r/5
