Volvo Penta D2-50 – Inboard Diesel Engine 49 HP
Bilge spaces on coastal cruising sloops accommodate a Volvo Penta D2-50 diesel powerplant, which burns EN 590 diesel through an in-line injection pump across a 2.2L 4-cylinder block, producing 49 HP and 115 Amps charging at 549 lbs.
- 2.2L displacement balances smooth auxiliary torque
- In-line injection pump delivers consistent fuel pressure
- 115-Amp charging circuit powers house electronics
- 549-lb dry weight minimizes stern settling
During routine fluid-service planning, the Volvo Penta D2-50 uses 10.5L oil capacity and a closed fresh-water cooling system holding 9.5L coolant. The naturally aspirated 2.2L inline four-cylinder engine produces 49 hp at 3,000 rpm through an in-line injection pump. Its stated SAE 5 flywheel housing, HS25A, MS25, or S-Drive compatibility, and mechanical or hydraulic marine gear options establish the documented propulsion interfaces.
The 549-pound dry engine uses EN 590 or ASTM D975 diesel and a 115-amp alternator. A water-cooled elbow forms the specified exhaust arrangement, while pressure-feed lubrication supports the listed fluid-service configuration. The supplied specification lists EPA Tier 3, BSO II, and RCD II emissions ratings alongside mechanical or hydraulic steering compatibility.
Why Choose the Volvo Penta D2-50 Marine Diesel Engine
The D2-50 marine diesel engine combines 49 hp at 3,000 rpm with a naturally aspirated 2.2L four-cylinder configuration and in-line injection pump. Buyers comparing inboard or saildrive propulsion can assess its HS25A, MS25, or S-Drive compatibility, mechanical or hydraulic gear options, 115-amp alternator, and SAE 5 flywheel housing. The supplied 549-pound dry weight and fluid capacities provide engine-room planning data.
Warranty and Support
