WHY FORWARD FACING IS SUPERIOR
| The forward-facing system offers new and groundbreaking solutions that give superior efficiency, very low noise and vibrations, car-like driving, easy docking and hassle-free ownership. |  |
BLADE AREA EQUALS PROPULSION EFFICIENCY Forward-facing propellers with no exhausts through the hub, minimize the hub diameter. This gives a proportionally much larger active blade area in the water. This is one of the secrets behind the unbeatable efficiency of the Volvo Penta IPS system. |

 Forward-facing efficiency The twin counter-rotating propellers face forward, working in undisturbed water. The propeller thrust is parallel with the hull. All power drives the boat forward. |
 Virtually no fumes All exhaust fumes are emitted through the pods, into the propwash and carried well behind the boat. |
|
 Cavitation free The propellers are positioned well under the hull to eliminate the risk of air intrusion and cavitation, even in sharp turns and under full acceleration. |
 Steerable pods Steerable pods point the entire thrust in the desired direction. This gives immediate response and totally predictable handling. |
