Dynamic Positioning System

When activated, the Dynamic Positioning System automatically holds your boat´s heading and keeps it within a very limited area. The system uses twin GPS receivers in the special antenna to determine the boat’s position and heading. Sophisticated and specially developed software in the EVC system transforms this data into steering angles, gear shifts and throttle positions to keep the boat still. Engines, pods and propellers are therefore active and your boat should be regarded as under way with the driver responsible. No one should, of course, be in the water close to the boat.

The Dynamic Positioning System is available for all Volvo Penta IPS models from model year 2010 and later. It must be combined with low-speed mode (not gasoline), the new joystick control and the 7 inch color display. The Dynamic Positioning System is engaged by a button on the joystick control and disengaged by moving the control levers or pressing the button once again.
