Product catalog summary
Overview: The Volvo Penta Interceptor System (IS) is designed to enhance boat handling, safety, and fuel efficiency for boats 40 feet and larger. It integrates with the Electronic Vessel Control (EVC) platform and is available in manual and automatic modes.
Specifications: The system is suitable for planing or semi-planing boats with Volvo Penta engines, ranging from 40 to 100 feet. It features brushless blade servos with a full stroke capacity in 2 seconds and blade sizes of 600, 750, 900, or 1050 mm. The blades have a 50 mm stroke and are made from corrosion-free composite materials.
Features and Benefits: The IS system offers superior onboard comfort by maintaining optimal running angles, improving visibility and safety, and reducing fuel consumption. It is robust, requires minimal maintenance, and features automatic self-cleaning. The system is fully integrated into the EVC platform, simplifying control and enhancing reliability.
Operational Advantages: In Auto mode, the system optimizes the boat's attitude for better efficiency and safety. It stabilizes the boat in turns, enhances visibility, and allows for planing at lower speeds. The system's compact design ensures an uncluttered transom and automatic retraction at engine shut-off.
Environmental Impact: By optimizing the boat's attitude, the IS system reduces fuel consumption, thereby lowering costs and environmental impact. The use of composite materials eliminates the need for protective anodes, further reducing maintenance requirements.
Additional Features: The system includes a self-cleaning mode to minimize marine growth and a True Turn feature that adjusts the heel in turns for a more comfortable ride. It is compatible with IPS and Aquamatic applications with electronic steering.

IMPROVED ONBOARD SAFETY Compared with a boat with a traditional trim system, a boat with IS in Auto mode is quickly up on plane and stays more upright in sharp turns. This means significantly improved visibility, both ahead and to the sides, and enhanced overall safety. With the automatic mode activated, the driver can focus fully on maneuvering and navigating – confident that the boat’s attitude is always optimal. SAVE FUEL AND REDUCE THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT When activated in the automatic mode, the IS trim system repeatedly adjusts the interceptor blades in order to keep the boat in its most...

SELF-CLEANING MODE TRUE TURN • Available as a fully automatic system with manual overlay control at all times. The system will cycle into a self-cleaning mode which minimizes marine growth. The cycle consists of multiple full stoke activations while the boat is at rest. This will mechanically scrape off marine growth from the blades. In Auto mode, the system is capable of adjusting the heel in a turn based on a predetermined value which depends on the boat model. This keeps the boat more upright in sharp turns and allows for a true turn, i.e. when people aboard feel no sideway forces during the...
