Brief Summary
The Volvo Penta D3-220 fills the gap between diesels for smaller displacement boat engines such as in sailboats, and the larger D4 and D6 engines for larger powerboats. With its high power-to-weight ratio and excellent fuel economy it makes a natural choice for mid-level planing hulls. And now -- because of its advanced technology -- the D3 burns cleaner and more fuel-efficiently than ever before. There are several important attributes to this engine which is somewhat unique when compared to conventional diesels.
