Volvo Penta® SX


Item #5993

Volvo Penta® Duo Prop

Item #5926

Impact Protection minimizes prop and drive damage with a hydraulic cylinder design to allow the drive to raise up when underwater objects are impacted. Also, special rubber bushings in the propeller hub dampen shock loads on the propeller blades as well as reduce stress on the overall gear system.

Cone Clutch Unlike dog clutches in the competitors entry level sterndrives, the extra-strength cone clutch delivers precise shifting and smooth quiet operation and superior durability. The result is the smoothest-shifting drive available

Excellent Maneuverability Standard power steering and a hydro-dynamically optimized gearcase designed with an extra wide rudder area, offers unmatched handling and control for a single propeller sterndrive. The added gearcase length increases stability and improves handling. Mounting the propeller further aft results in a cleaner bite on the water for better acceleration, and less time to plane.

Exclusive Drive Saver Coupler Designed to shear in the event of the propeller impact. This reduces the risk of damage to more expensive components. Two Year Limited Factory Warranty

Cone Clutch Unlike dog clutches in the competitors entry level sterndrives, the extra-strength cone clutch delivers precise shifting and smooth quiet operation and superior durability. The result is the smoothest-shifting drive available.

Twin Counter-Rotating Propeller Design maximizes thrust by allowing the engine to operate at a lower RPM for comparable boat speeds thus providing better fuel efficiency, longer range and a lower operating cost. Excellent Handling and Control The twin counter rotating propellers allow for significantly more propeller surface area in the water which virtually eliminates the common problem of cavitation thus enhancing handling and overall maneuverability. Impact Protection minimizes prop and drive damage with a hydraulic cylinder design to allow the drive to raise up when underwater objects are impacted. Also, special rubber bushings in the propeller hub dampen shock loads on the propeller blades as well as reduce stress on the overall gear system.

Two Year Limited Factory Warranty
