Technical Specifications

Key Features and Advantages of the Volvo Penta D3-170

Long Service Life and Proven Reliability

Built upon Volvo Penta’s trusted engine architecture, the D3-170 is designed for maximum uptime and endurance. The aluminum cylinder block and head resist corrosion, while the robust internal components ensure long-term reliability even in demanding saltwater conditions.

Compact and Lightweight Design

The ultra-compact, symmetrical design simplifies installation in tight compartments. Its excellent power-to-weight ratio ensures efficient propulsion, reduced vibration, and minimal fuel use, ideal for both repowering and new vessel builds.

Unique Marine Torque for Strong Acceleration

High torque at low RPM means rapid acceleration, precise handling, and efficient cruising, even when under heavy loads. This characteristic marine torque curve provides exceptional performance for both workboats and pleasure crafts.

Low Fuel Consumption and Environmentally Conscious Operation

The advanced common-rail injection system and electronic monitoring optimize fuel delivery for maximum efficiency. This reduces fuel costs and emissions while maintaining Volvo Penta’s signature smooth operation.

Intelligent Electronic Vessel Control (EVC) System

The integrated EVC platform allows seamless communication between the engine, controls, and onboard electronics.
Optional features include:

• Single-Lever Mode for synchronized throttle operation

• Cruise Control for consistent speed management

• Glass Cockpit Integration for digital instrumentation and monitoring

Reliable Freshwater Cooling

The standard closed-loop freshwater cooling system prevents internal corrosion and stabilizes operating temperatures. A heat exchanger enhances efficiency, maintaining consistent thermal performance in all conditions.

Designed for Easy Maintenance

Maintenance points are easily accessible, minimizing downtime. When serviced with genuine Volvo Penta parts from JB Marine GmbH, the D3-170 provides maximum reliability and extended operational life.
