At Outdrive Exchange, we’ll work hard to fit your budget to repower your vessel from a choice of many top name brands. And once your back out to sea, we’ll make sure you get home safely with factory trained preventative maintenance on everything we sell.
Volvo Penta – Diesel
As an Authorized Volvo Penta dealer, Outdrive Exchange offers sales and service for all Volvo outdrives – gas and diesel.
Volvo Penta – Gasoline
Volvo Penta, the undisputed leader in marine innovation, sets the new standard in gas engine technology. Next generation V6 and V8 engines offer unparalleled fuel economy and performance, while far exceeding the toughest emissions standards on the planet.
These models are the first in Volvo’s new line of premium gas engines offering superior power-to-weight ratios for increased torque and acceleration at every throttle setting. Each features a state-of-the-art freshwater cooling system to eliminate internal saltwater exposure and direct injection provides more power with less displacement. One look and it’s clear, these new engines are a first of their kind in the marine industry.

Volvo Penta IPS
Volvo Penta IPS is the modern inboard system, superior to inboard shafts in every vital aspect – handling, onboard comfort and performance. Those benefits have made Volvo Penta IPS the by far most popular pod system for leisure boats.

Duoprop with its twin propellers doubles the blade area. Duoprop’s counter-rotating propellers outbalances each other, eliminating the transverse force.
Duoprop halves the power input per propeller which means: half load, half tip looses and half induced losses. The low load also significantly reduces cavitation.
DuoProp Benefits
Faster acceleration
Duoprop provides up to 30 % faster acceleration and produces a top speed some 5 % faster than any conventional single propeller system.
Lower fuel consumption
With twin counter-rotating propellers, energy losses are minimized and you can stay planing at lower revs. That’s why Duoprop can help you save large amounts of fuel.
Straight tracking
Duoprop tracks straight. Check over the transom of any Duoprop powered boat. The evidence of cleaner, unruffled delivery of power is there in the wake.
Handling is better too
Whether at speed, round the buoys or when docking in a crowded marina. The grip is there – even when making sharp turns at high speeds. Duoprop also reduces the boats tendency to roll.
Lower vibration and noise levels
Duoprop produces lower vibration and noise levels due to the fact that the shock pulses are distributed over more blades. With its counter rotating propellers it’s almost cavitation free.
