Volvo Penta IPS 500 Diesel Inboard Performance System – For Sale

High-Efficiency Propulsion with Sportboat Handling and Yacht Comfort

The Volvo Penta IPS 500 (Inboard Performance System) is a revolutionary propulsion solution that redefines efficiency, maneuverability, and onboard experience for boats in the 35–50 ft range. Featuring forward-facing, twin counter-rotating propellers, the IPS 500 pulls the vessel through the water, creating smoother handling, greater fuel economy, and reduced vibration compared to traditional inboard shaft systems.

At the heart of the IPS 500 is a 6-cylinder diesel engine delivering 370 HP through advanced common-rail fuel injection, double overhead camshafts, a turbocharger, and aftercooler. The system integrates seamlessly with Volvo Penta’s Electronic Vessel Control (EVC) platform, enabling joystick docking, single-lever control, and precision navigation at all speeds.
