Product catalog summary
Dynamic Positioning System Overview
The Dynamic Positioning System (DPS) is designed for Volvo Penta IPS models from 2010 onwards. It allows a boat to remain stationary in the water with the press of a button, making it ideal for situations such as waiting at fuel docks, bridges, or locks, and for fishing without anchoring.

Functionality
When activated, the DPS holds the boat's position automatically within a limited area, even in challenging conditions like currents or wind. It uses twin GPS receivers to determine the boat's position and heading, with the EVC system software converting this data into steering, gear shifts, and throttle adjustments.

Safety and Convenience
The system enhances safety by allowing users to pause and plan route changes or maintain position in deep waters. It also provides time to prepare for docking by setting up fenders and lines.

EVC Accessories
Volvo Penta offers smart accessories that simplify boating and are environmentally friendly. These include plug-in instruments, active monitoring, troubleshooting, and engine data integration into chart plotters. The EVC platform allows for easy upgrades and installation of accessories.

Performance and Integration
All EVC accessories are developed and serviced by Volvo Penta, ensuring compatibility with Volvo Penta engines. The EVC system uses CAN-bus technology for total integration, reducing wiring and increasing reliability.

Mandatory Options and Features
  • Low-speed mode
  • Joystick+
  • 7” color display
Note: Engines, pods, and propellers remain active, so caution is advised near the boat.
