INSTRUMENTS
The information you want, at up to four different places on 
board, including the availability of engine data in your chart 
plotter. The instruments are developed for Volvo Penta  
engines, and give highly accurate readings and reliability.
Volvo Penta instruments are developed exclusively for the 
EVC system. A guarantee for accurate readings and high 
reliability. Furthermore they are easy to read day and night, 
thanks to double glazing and sophisticated lighting.
 Standard   Optional. *Depending on transmission. Requires sensors. 
1) Requires extra sensor or NMEA interface.  
2) Requires extra sensor.  
3) Volvo Penta IPS. Requires Active Corrosion Protection.  
4) Requires low-speed mode. 
Engine monitoring displays
With Volvo Penta engine monitoring displays, you get all the information 
you need in one place. Thanks to the trip computer functions, it is easy 
to find your most economical cruising speed, adjust for the optimum 
trim angle, etc. You have direct access to all essential engine and boat 
data and you can adapt the information presentation to your own pref-
erences. An important benefit is that you get messages, such as error 
codes, in plain text.

features/data are available for you EVC

NMEA
NMEA is the standard used by all the leading suppliers of marine  
electronics today. For you, it means that you have a system that is  
compatible with your other onboard electronics and is future proof. 
The EVC-display can show your speed through the water and speed 
over ground. This data is also used to calculate your fuel consumption 
per mile, etc. For NMEA 2000 systems, all engine data is available 
for other instruments. For example, you can read all engine data in a  
compatible chart plotter. 
GLASS COCKPIT
Integrated with the EVC system, the Glass Cockpit gathers all driver 
information and displays it in one spot. The easy-to-handle, pinch-to-
zoom displays give you instant control. Six displays in two versions are 
available in different sizes from 8 to 19”. 
ONE LOOK. ONE TOUCH. ONE SYSTEM.
When you power up your boat all screens light up simultaneously, in a 
car-like manner. All settings that you control, including instrument dim-
ming, are carried out concurrently at the helm and the flybridge. With 
the Glass Cockpit system you get a common, ergonomic design – and 
interface – for the whole dashboard, with push-buttons on the controls 
and touch-buttons on the screens. 
AUTO GUIDANCE
This unique feature searches through all relevant charts to create a 
route you can follow – and avoid shallow water, buoys and other ob-
stacles. Coupled with the autopilot, it not only shows the way, it takes 
you there!
TOTAL INTEGRATION
Full EVC functionality means that you monitor functions like Dynamic 
Positioning System, Interceptors and Autopilot through the displays.
