Volvo Penta D3 Series Diesels

One of the advantages of Volvo Penta is that they often use the same technology and capability across their entire product line. So if you like the big fancy display on a 1,000 hp IPS Diesel Engine you can get it on your 150 hp small inboard.

This is the scenario that we are going to explore which i think would be ideal for a small boat repower.

The D3 Diesel lineup comes in several models. Volvo lists it as having the following features:

"Volvo Penta D3-110 is an in-line 5-cylinder, 2.4-liter diesel engine with an aluminum cylinder block and cylinder head, using common-rail with piezo-electric injectors, double overhead camshafts, and Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT). This contributes to outstanding torque during acceleration."

• D3-110 
• D3-150
• D3-200
• D3-220

I particularly like the ease of access to most components.
