Product Details
The Volvo Penta D1-20 is an in-line 3-cylinder, 0.8-liter naturally aspirated diesel engine designed for small to medium-sized marine vessels. It features a cam-driven in-line injection pump and a freshwater cooling system, ensuring smooth operation, long service life, and minimal vibrations.Operating at low cruising RPM, the D1-20 provides quiet, efficient, and dependable power for a comfortable onboard experience.
Key Features & Advantages Comfort
The D1-20 offers smooth, quiet operation with low vibration levels, achieved through a dynamically balanced engine design and high-efficiency rubber isolation mounts.Its low engine speed and inlet air silencer further reduce noise, ensuring exceptional onboard comfort and a relaxed cruising experience.
With high torque at low RPM, the engine delivers:
-
Strong, immediate response during maneuvers
-
Reliable propulsion in headwinds or strong currents
-
Excellent handling in tight marinas and confined waters
Built for durability, the D1-20 features a rigid engine block and one-piece cylinder head, providing exceptional strength and reliability. This robust design ensures long service life and consistent performance in demanding marine environments.
A high-capacity 115A alternator with a built-in electronic charging sensor ensures rapid and efficient battery charging:
-
Delivers over 35A at idle speed
-
Produces approximately 100A at cruising speed
This guarantees a stable power supply for all onboard electrical systems and accessories.
The engine comes with freshwater cooling as standard, reducing internal corrosion and maintaining optimal working temperature under all conditions. This contributes to longer engine life and greater reliability.
Volvo Penta propulsion systems are designed for easy maintenance and longevity. The use of premium oils, lubricants, and coolants ensures consistent uptime and top performance.Optional accessories — such as a fuel pre-filter — further enhance engine protection and durability.
