Volvo Penta is a world-leading engine supplier that works with over 100 boat manufacturers to power any kind of sea going platform, including sailboats, sport fishing boats and yachts. One of Meridian’s jobs was helping educate consumers that they don’t have to afraid to leave the dock anymore, since Volvo Penta's boat engines deliver a smoother ride, better fuel savings and ease of operation.
One of Volvo Penta's unique selling propositions is they have created a product that takes the worry out of docking large boats. The InBoard Propulsion System in use with Volvo Penta Marine Engines lets the boat driver dock with the simple use of a joystick. It controls sterring and throttle allowing the boat to be driven sideways, if necessary, to dock safely in strong currents in tight places.
