Volvo Penta D6-440A Repower Noosa Cat 4100
What is the Volvo Penta D6-440A?
That would be a 440hp variant of the popular D6 engine marine engine.
The D6 is a 5.5L in-line six-cylinder turbo diesel with a cast iron block, double-overhead camshafts (DOHC), and common rail fuel injection. It can be had from 300 to 480 crank-horsepower. The D6 engine, together with the popular D4 is the only engine designed from the ground up solely for marine use, it is not found anywhere else in the Volvo Group range. It was released in the early 2000s as the replacement for the venerable KAD300.
How good is the Volvo Penta D6 engine?
By all accounts, it's great. It is very popular in commercial, enforcement and private usage with it seen in a lot of European motor yachts between 40 and 50 feet like the excellent Beneteau GT45. Locally, it is found standard in the Riviera 395 SUV and we’ve seen it in Police boats including the recently launched police vessels from renowned Brisbane builders Norman Wright and Sons.
What drive units work with the Volvo D6?
In the Noosa Cat seen here, the drives were Aquamatic DPI Sterndrives. You can also order the D6 with IPS Drives and for shaft drive. With the IPS, you should see the best fuel efficiency with the shaft drive a close second however, for easy installation and in most repowers, you’re likely to want the DPI for its layout and weight distribution.
Who can I talk to about repowering with a Volvo Penta D6?
If you are in Queensland or Papua New Guinea, it is Seamech. If you are looking from somewhere else, you can find retailers and support from Volvo Penta’s excellent website
Who is Seamech then and why use them?
Seamech are a bunch of boating enthusiasts that happen to not only retail and service Volvo Penta but also a range of other brands including Kohler generators. As the distributing Dealer for Volvo Penta in Queensland and Papua New Guinea, they manage the Volvo Penta Dealer network in these regions. Beyond that, they are also experts in planning builds and rebuilds.
How did the Repowered Noosacat perform with the Volvo Penta D6?
Pretty well. The engines ran smoothly, as you’d expect from a six-cylinder and in terms of fuel efficiency, they really impressed given the hefty 11,000kg catamaran they were pushing.
Sea Trials: Twin Volvo Penta D6-440A in a Noosa Cat 4100 Deluxe
We ran the Noosa Cat off in Mooloolaba Bay a couple of hours north of Brisbane. The conditions were not perfect with a rolling 1-1.5m swell and a 10-20kt on-shore breeze.
We ran side-on to the wind, both with and against the seas to get the average of two runs seen below.
On board, we had seven people, a half load of fuel (~1000L) and some supplies. We estimated a displacement of 11,000kg.
I suggest the best fast-cruise is in the region of 2250-2350rpm evident by the engines consuming a combined 40L/hr. If you were looking for maximum range, at idle or just above, offers nearly 2000Nm of range with ten per cent fuel in reserve.
Flat out we saw more than 36kts in one run with the average of the two runs 35.1kt, a massive step up on the previous best the boat ran of around 22kts.
Not only was the WOT speed impressive, but look at the fuel consumption and consider how they compare to one of the best-performing outboards in the supercharged, in-line six-cylinder Mercury Verado. For its power, the 350hp Verado is widely seen as one of the most fuel-efficient engines around running two on a significantly lighter Axopar 37 Suntop monohull and the Volvo’s were 30% more efficient.
Looking at efficiency comparison in lower RPM is futile as the hulls and conditions are so wildly different but at WOT, the Volvos and Mercs are doing their best to turn as much fuel as they can swallow into momentum and right there is a big reason inboards are still so popular in bigger hulls.
So how much does it cost to install a pair of Volvo Penta D6’s with DPI Drives?
The owner of this 4100 did almost everything himself (with lots of help from his best mates). This included pulling the boat onto the hard, craning the old engines and drives out, rebuilding the engine and DPI cradles and installing the D6s. The team also ran the easy-to-install wiring for the throttle and connected up the EVC to their existing MFD.
We did ask Seamech what the cost of the engines is and at the time of writing, a D6-440A, DPI combo was around $200,000. This includes everything you need to install and fire up an engine with gearbox seals, throttle, gauges, wiring harnesses, exhaust risers and more included.
Putting a wet finger to the sky and guessing the cost for a Volvo Penta Dealer to also install a D6 into your hull and you’re likely looking at somewhere between A$10,000 and A$30,000. Why the big range? If you need new bearers, stringers engine room exhausting can add a lot of labour and materials whereas a simple build might not - you really need to have Seamech take a look at your hull to get a firmer idea of the cost.

is maritimo a reliable/durable boat?
What about the price?
What ranges for electrically/solar, diesel, mix? A very interesting boat for a solo or couple.
By far the best H-Signature review on CZcams Bit of launching out of the water, that's what we all want to see.
How much does it cost?
Nz make the best fishing boats
Great boat, VW V6 TDi not so sure about, see how they go in their cars.
Don't even come close
how about the price list..!?? 🙏
Waiting for mine to arrive next month..
I'm comparing it to a 59S Steeler category A liveaboard. Thoughts?
Jan15, freezing, can I live on this boat ?
Jan15, freezing, can I live on this boat ?
Definitely miss these prices. I wonder if it will get anywhere near that again!!
Loveley boat. Fuel burn stats are wrong though.
x50R bad ass
Wow who is the charming and good-looking young woman at the start? She's bound to go far!
Absolutely, she's our best-kept secret, the undercover agent of charm and good looks, world champion of trivia (with a certificate to prove it), ready to take over the world, one charming smile at a time! 😉🌎💫
I've looked at so many boats , and I am always amazed at how pleasure confiurations do not equip boats for fishing -even the simplest amneties they won't instal on boats that cost multi -milions -Martimo hist the mark here -some days you want to cas,t others ,you want have family fun on the water . Excellent design and execution .
Do they still manufacture this in Cairns?
That's about the ugliest boat on the water. If someone gave one to me, I'd sell it and buy a nice used Viking, Bertram or Hatteras...maybe even a Cabo. But this boat is fugly!
If someone gave me the convertible, i would turn around and sell that ugly turd for a used Viking, Hatt, or Bertram. That's about the ugliest boat on the water.
Viking 🤤 🤤 🤤 ❤❤❤
they don't give them away. people who can afford them buy what they like, not what people who can't like.
Promo sm
Not even close to the Riviera 6000.
The people who own Maritimo used to own Riviera champ.
Bet it cost 2mill
Zimbabwe $ ?
That's a gorgeous boat. But those people made me puke a little bit in my mouth. People like that make me sick.
Take these boats out to the Wild West coast,see how they go on rougher seas.
No toilet?.
Question, can an aft station be integrated so the lucky owner of this boat can fish as well as captain? I'm thinking about salmon fishing with downriggers.
That was my thought also and maybe crab & halibut out Half Moon Bay
Not enough hype for this boat on CZcams. I think it's one of the best in it's size range but only a few videos
Beautiful
I have a 2015 115 CT on a 22 Dun Tracker Pontoon. About to turn 500 hours no problem. The bigger diameter prop gives you more control.
Beautiful stable boat would really suit Perth waters how about coming over so we can see it in reality. Keep up the great work in build and production.
What's the difference between Maritimo and Riviera? They look almost the same.
Geez that cat was wallowing all over the place...makes me seasick looking at it...
Sounds like you better stay on the couch then, boating does not seem to be your liking.
I would like to see the S600 in more detail in open water. Thank you.
Thats coming up soon - we're hoping to be on the water with Maritimo early in September for a full review
𝕡𝕣𝕠𝕞𝕠𝕤𝕞
Love to see how the boast are made
I was an engineer for them up till 2013 but because of the GFC well you can guess what happened. All the teams were dedicated, And they still are fit out 1 Who took care of (Hull, Deck & Fly bridge joining they were good). Fit out 2 took care of (Internal fittings timber work, galley, cabins special order fittings, and they were good.) Plumbers, they were good when you think Plumber teams & electrical teams and engineers had to run all the hot /cold water. Black tanks drinking water tanks, running gear, fuel systems, Hydraulic systems entertainment systems, safety systems etc the list goes on. And not forget to mention parts staff, Office staff. Contractors , metalworkers (Dave the welder, amazing team and stainless steel polishers now there's a job I would think twice about, but they did it and did it well.so many to mention the race team (Rosco . Muddy. Tom).so many I can't remember all of them. But we all had just one focus, to build the boats as best we could. I was originally a Rolls-Royce and Bentley mechanic, before I started with Maritimo I never looked back. Bill Barry Cotter did what he planned to do, and I am thankful that I was part of it
𝐩𝓻Ỗ𝓂Ø𝓈M 😊
Thanks for the review.
👍👍😄😄
What is the difference between this new m60 and the m55? It seems they have the same 17'2" beam and the exact same layout.
Internally these boats are identical. The difference lies in the rear cockpit and flybridge which are longer on the M60.
@@StreakerMarine what do you mean they are no longer on it? Looks like the decks are a few feet longer and that’s it. Wonder if they’ll drop the m55 now. I can’t see there being a need for both.
@@darcychiropractic378 Correct, the outside areas are longer in length on the M60. The M55 is Maritimo's most prominent model sold which proves there is a huge demand for this size
Thanks again guys - epic day!
Our pleasure!
I'm trying to find thus powertrain as we speak and everybody thinks I'm crazy... I seen a twin setup on a 23' er, talking unicorn fuel economy
What is the price of this boat spec'd as filmed and at time of filming.
yes, good ask, what's the price?
$2.2 million AUD and that is presumably without a Seakeeper giro stabilizer. You can add another $100k plus for that and add $AUD 75,000 for a Williams 285 jet tender.
@@JohnSmith-zo6ir Agreed, i know the 600 is around 3.2, so somewhere around 2.5m
I see the boat is very comfortable, especially with the engine that matches the boat, the stability and space for movement is perfect, senior Greetings from Indonesia, Maluku Province, Aru Islands
the video is very good senior I like the features on the boat and the fishing location is also a lot of fish
Very nice boat 🚢 👌 👍 😍 congrats 👏
I have a four stroke Mercury 90 on a 16 foot Legend fish and ski boat. I usually keep the revs between 4000 to 4500 and get about 43 kph on it with a smaller prop I installed to lower the trolling speed of the main motor (so sacrificed top end doing so). The one thing that is very noticeable is the superb mileage. I can drive all day long at this speed on a 30 litre tank of gas. Same principle as my 6 cylinder 1800 cc Honda motorcycle...large engines driven mildly give far better mileage than a highly stressed smaller engine. I love this superbly quiet, easy to maintain motor and get the same feeling it will last forever like my Gold Wing bike.
Is this the sport version?
Such a amazing cruiser! I just bought one a couple of weeks ago, don’t get it for 12months is the only draw back unfortunately… massive wait time on the Twin 250 V8 Mercury’s… great review! Cheers
Can you I M me your contact data and price. Do yo have a shop in the USA?
