Volvo Penta D4-260 260HP Aquamatic Sterndrive Engine

Description

The Volvo Penta D4-260 260HP Aquamatic Sterndrive Engine eliminates frustrating throttle lag and sluggish hull acceleration on single or twin-engine Aquamatic sterndrive installations, sport cruisers, and offshore performance center consoles. Operating efficiently on standard number 2-D marine diesel, this inline four-cylinder marine engine coordinates piezo-electric micro-precision control common rail systems to replace standard single-induction blocks entirely. Sport cruiser captains can execute high-speed offshore maneuvers safely, letting the advanced turbocharged and supercharged induction network balance air-to-fuel ratios flawlessly up to a 3500 RPM full throttle range.

Constructed with a thermostatically controlled closed-loop fresh water heat exchanger system, the vertical inline four-cylinder housing blocks prevent severe component overheating inside tight engine beds or steering pedestals. The high-performance 3.669-liter computing block delivers an impressive 260 horsepower crankshaft output, managing a high-output 115 Amp alternator to keep auxiliary electrical banks charged without power faults. Procuring this premium Sweden-manufactured inboard propulsion block establishes precise electronic engine tracking via Volvo Penta Electronic Vessel Control protocols, backed by a comprehensive 2-Year limited marine factory warranty plan.

Key Features of Volvo Penta D4-260

• Inline 4-Cylinder Four-Stroke Vertical Marine Diesel Engine links a high-torque 3669 cc cylinder layout with advanced common rail injection to secure elite power-to-weight metrics.
• Turbocharged and Supercharged Induction System Aspiration utilizes a mechanical compressor for low-end punch and a turbocharger for high-RPM cruise tracks to eliminate torque gaps.
• Piezo-Electric Micro-Precision Control Common Rail Injection multi-calibrates fuel pressure curves dynamically to minimize fuel burn while completely eliminating standard diesel smoking.
• Integrated 115 Amps 12 Volts Total Charging Matrix delivers high electrical current straight to deep-cycle house batteries to run complex navigation bridges easily.
• Volvo Penta Electronic Vessel Control EVC-E and EVC2 Protocols transmits real-time RPM, fluid temperatures, and diagnostic fault codes across dashboard chartplotters instantly without external gateways.
• Strict EPA Tier 3 and IMO Tier II Compliance fulfills strict global marine environmental protection laws by optimizing internal thermal combustion efficiency.
• Thermostatically Controlled Closed-Loop Fresh Water Heat Exchanger shields inner cylinder sleeves completely from corrosive raw saltwater exposure via an internal closed loop circuit layer.
• Rugged 103.0 mm Bore by 110.0 mm Stroke Assembly provides a heavy-duty mechanical foundation engineered to withstand thousands of continuous offshore runtime hours.
• Low Profile Balanced Structural Bobtail Engine Block limits dry weight metrics to 1058 lbs to maximize planing hull velocity thresholds.
• Universal Fuel Grade EN 590 and ASTM D 975 Compatibility pairs natively with standard global marine diesels to prevent internal fuel pump knocking or component wear.
