Crankmounted seawater pumpElectrocoated exhaust risers and manifolds (non-catalyst engines)Flush fitting - hose connection to flush cooling system with freshwaterSerpentine belt with spring tensionerThermostatically controlled seawater cooling. The engine can be ordered with factory-mounted freshwater cooling.Power Trim
Electrically operated hydraulic system with trim gauge for best driving comfortHigh capacity trim pump integrated with transom shield to ease installation and save space in engine compartmentEvc Instruments
EVC-EC -- Plug and go: EVC Electronic Vessel Control is the latest development in engine control and instrumentation for Volvo Penta marine engines. EVC makes boating easier and safer, offering electronic shift and throttle, twin engine and power trim synchronization and new software functions such as trip computer and power trim assistant. EVC is easily scalable from one station up to four, from a classic dashboard up to an advanced driver information system. The system is built on the latest automotive technology with waterproof connectors, so it's just plug and go.Fuel System
