Volvo Penta composite outdrive

[Will_M]

Was at the press day at the Miami Boat Show, lots of lovely new shinny toys and goodies.

Volvo Penta had their new composite outdrive on display also composite DP propeller sets with replaceable blades some 'back flush widget' for out drive type engines and the petrols were displayed with 'non rusting' composite sumps.

Will we see these modern advancements here in the UK?

Not yet.. Shame.

Now I like that 'Non rusting' composite sumps, it won't catch on - Volvo will make a big loss in repairs ;o)
