The Volvo Penta IPS 500 Pods drives were replaced with second generation IPS-B pods by Kozwell Boatworks in 2019. 

Pre 2009 Gen 1 IPS drives were fitted with a Bronze seal that when used in Saltwater were prone to failure. The Gen 2 Pods have replaced the seal with Stainless Steel. The pods in this boat are Gen 2 stainless steel. 

The Volvo Penta IPS-B pod drives are part of the Inboard Performance System (IPS) lineup, renowned for revolutionizing marine propulsion since their debut in 2005. These drives are designed to enhance performance, efficiency, and onboard comfort for medium-to-large motor yachts.

Key Features of Volvo Penta IPS-B Pod Drives
