Volvo Penta D3-110 – Inboard Marine Diesel Engine 110 HP

Description

Maintain a dependable mechanical power source in the engine room with the Volvo Penta D3-110. This 2.4-liter inline 5-cylinder marine diesel engine delivers 110 horsepower at 3000 RPM, making it an ideal repower engine for sailboats, displacement cruisers, and commercial workboats. Variable Geometry Turbocharging ensures quick throttle response at low RPMs, while common-rail fuel injection keeps fuel burn clean and quiet during long passages.

Closed freshwater cooling keeps seawater away from internal engine passages, preventing scale buildup and corrosion. Housed in an SAE 4 flywheel housing, the engine includes a 14V 180-amp alternator, Electronic Vessel Control network connectivity, and a total dry weight of 301 kg with marine gear.

Key Specifications of the Volvo Penta D3-110 Inboard Marine Engine

• Common-rail fuel injection delivers precise fuel pressure management, drastically reducing mechanical vibration and exhaust emissions at the helm.
• Closed freshwater cooling isolates the internal cylinder block from raw seawater, extending engine lifespan in harsh ocean environments.
• A high-output 14V 180-amp alternator provides rapid charging capacity for large house battery banks and continuous DC electrical loads.
• An SAE 4 flywheel housing couples smoothly with HS25 and HS45 hydraulic marine gears for flexible shaft-drive repower installations.

Engine Performance and Engineering

Smooth 5-cylinder firing order and electronic engine management define the performance of this Volvo Penta inboard engine. Pressure-feed wet sump lubrication protects internal bearings under heel angles, while the water-cooled exhaust riser dampens noise before discharge.

Why Choose the Volvo Penta D3-110 Inboard Marine Engine

Sailboat owners choose the D3-110 marine engine for its smooth 2.4-liter 5-cylinder block and efficient 110 horsepower output.
