Smarter Boating Starts Here
Modern boating should be effortless.
Volvo Penta at Sea's next-generation Boat Autopilot helps you maintain a steady course, even through tight turns.
With Seamless Drive, the autopilot remains engaged until you take control via the steering wheel or joystick, then automatically re-engages once you're back on course.
It's another example of how Volvo Penta continues to combine intelligent technology with exceptional boating experiences.
🎥 Watch the technology in action
At Southern Power, we're proud to supply Volvo Penta's industry-leading marine solutions throughout Southern Africa.
