Volvo Penta IPS is the modern inboard system, superior to inboard shafts in every vital aspect – handling, onboard comfort and performance. Those benefits have made Volvo Penta IPS the by far most popular pod system for leisure boats. Riviera Motor Yachts almost exclusively uses Volvo Penta IPS POD drives to power our luxury vessels. This video shows how they work, how they are made and some history of the development.

thanks for posting , very impressive , solves at least two problems for me, the smoke and the noise, big factors in inboard installations.

They’re not counter rotating, but contra rotating (around the 2:50 mark)
What geniouses ! This time they invented the curved teeth gear, and put a pod backwards ! Wow. I can only imagine how it goes when you hit something, how the props seeks out a rope or fisshing net, why the ancient idea of forward facing propellars just isn't the safest most practical in the first place.
Thanks for showing your pursuit to excellence
I'm just wondering if the Volvo Penta IPS also will be used in small recreation boats, anything from a 20 to a 30 foot boat?!?

Let’s add 2.5 ft to the minimum draft. So a boat that has a 4 ft draft now has a 6.5 ft draft. So much for getting into tight places.
