Volvo Penta D3 Series marine diesel engines provide compact inboard power for cruising boats and motor yachts. MSS Motorsports lists five-cylinder D3 models for marine engine replacement and boat repowering, with selection based on hull type, operating load, and propulsion layout.
The listed range includes the Volvo Penta D3-110I at 110 hp, D3-150I at 150 hp, D3-170I at 170 hp, D3-200I at 200 hp, and D3-220I at 220 hp. These are published crankshaft ratings; confirm the exact engine generation and specification when comparing replacement units.
D3 engines combine a 2.4-litre aluminium cylinder block and head with common-rail fuel injection, variable geometry turbocharging, and freshwater cooling through a heat exchanger. Electronic Vessel Control (EVC) provides electronic shift and throttle operation, while a 180A alternator supports onboard battery charging. Controls and instrumentation must match the engine’s EVC generation.
Inboard gearbox configurations include HS25AE or HS45AE options, depending on the model and package. For shaft-drive repowers, check the reduction ratio, mounting dimensions, shaft alignment, and propeller suitability. Identify the existing engine and transmission by their full designations and serial numbers before deciding which components can be retained.
Request a Volvo Penta D3 engine quotation from MSS Motorsports with your boat details, required horsepower, and existing propulsion specification. Confirm engine condition, gearbox inclusion, EVC controls, wiring loom, and installation accessories. Ask about applicable warranty terms, replacement parts availability, lead time, and delivery costs before ordering.
