Equipped with a very sturdy little turbocharger, this version is a direct response to market requests. In light of the engine’s huge mechanical reserves, 55 kW (75 hp) and an increased torque of now 155 newtonmeters at only 2000 rpm are still definitely conservative, but offer notable extra punch without compromising what this engine family was made for: Continuous, reliable and comfortable power supply at relatively low engine speeds.

 

The engine is ideal for anything from a 12 metre sailing yacht to small semi-planing boats with shaft drive, such as the ever more popular “pêche promenades” or small, yet quick cutter designs.

 

Easily meets EU emission standards and all expected future emission standards for marine engines.

 

Engine Performance


The Saildrive

 

We have not invented this type of drive unit, but we refined it and offer it in combination with our very silent engines to explore new fields of application. This has even caused owners to install Volkswagen Marine Saildrive packages aboard motor boats which were originally designed for V-drive systems. The resulting reduction in noise and vibration levels is very hard to achieve with conventional shaft drives. The Volkswagen Marine Saildrive is available with all variants of our for cylinder, i.e. with ratings from 29 kW (40 hp) up to 55 kW (75 hp).
