the next generation in automation....

With Volvo Penta Assisted Docking the process of docking boats in challenging conditions is safer and easy. The next generation in yachting automation Volvo Penta Assisted Docking simplifies boat docking by removing the dynamics of wind and current, and improves your control for maneuvering in tight spaces. Available across the complete Volvo Penta IPS range, as well as an option to retrofit in selected Volvo Penta IPS powered yachts. Offering an unprecedented level of precision and control in the docking process, Volvo Penta aims to make boating more accessible, safer, and stress-free by offering the Assisted Docking technology not only to new boats but also as a retrofit upgrade for current customers. This allows boat owners to enhance their experience on the water and unlock newfound performance in their existing vessels.

Before considering Volvo Penta Assisted Docking retrofit upgrade it is important to ensure that your boat is fully compatible with the next generation in yachting automation. You will need to initially check if your boat has DPS - Dynamic Positioning System, and ideally a bow thruster,  Volvo Penta IPS model year 2012 for EVCE and EVC2 and specifically D6-IPS, D8-IPS or D11-IPS packages and or D-13 and EVC-E4 and EVC-2. If you are unsure about your compatibility requirements or have any additional questions please contact Don Morton Power & Propulsion or your local authorised Volvo Penta dealer for guidance and evaluation to help determine if Assisted Docking is the ideal fit for your boat and provide information on the necessary steps for retrofitting the system.
