Volvo Penta D2-75 – Marine Diesel Engine 75 HP

Volvo Penta D2-75 75 HP – High-Torque Sailboat Auxiliary

Eliminating the vibration and noise of traditional auxiliary power is the primary mechanical challenge solved by the Volvo Penta D2-75. Delivering 75 HP at 3000 RPM, this 2.2-liter, 4-cylinder engine provides the massive low-end torque required to push heavy-displacement sailing yachts through the choppy coastal waters of the USA Pacific Northwest. Its compact design and lightweight construction make it an ideal repower choice for American sailors looking to upgrade from older, less efficient iron-block engines while maintaining a refined cockpit environment.

Adhering to strict EPA Tier 3 emission standards, the D2-75 features a freshwater cooling system and a low-maintenance mechanical fuel system for ultimate reliability in remote American waters. Engineered for the USA maritime market, this engine includes a high-output 115A alternator as standard to handle the heavy discharge cycles of modern yacht battery banks during extended periods at anchor. Its saltwater-resistant heat exchanger is specifically designed to withstand the high-salinity conditions of the Atlantic seaboard, ensuring long-term internal component protection.
