Volvo Penta rewritten the rules with regard motorboat propulsion systems. In a stroke they may have consigned stern-drives and shaft drives to history, and in the process revolutionised the way motorboats are designed and built. Inboard Performance System, or IPS, is an innocuous title for the most important development in propulsion since the invention of the outdrive, and something tha
t may render the conventional shaftdrive obsolete.
IPS is a combined engine and propulsion system, sold as a package in the same way that an outdrive can be. You can't buy the propulsion unit on its own, and currently IPS is only approved for twin installation. There are two models, both employing the same propulsion/transmissi on unit. Combining this unit with the 310hp D6-310 gives the IPS-400, attach the 370hp D6-370 and you have the IPS-500. The engines are the same as used in sterndrive and conventional shaftdrive applications.
