Optional
Active Corrosion Protection
System
Your boat may be equipped with a Volvo Penta active
corrosion protection system (ACPS).
The ACPS acts as an active anode and is designed to
reduce the galvanic corrosion of underwater parts of
the drive. The system works in conjunction with the
drive’s sacrificial anodes. The sacrificial anodes may
last much longer with ACPS, however they must still
be checked periodically, see
Maintenance
Schedule page 69 .
NOTICE! The active corrosion protection system is
designed to adequately protect one drive unit from gal-
vanic corrosion under normal operating conditions.
This system will not provide protection from stray cur-
rents emitted by a malfunctioning AC power source on
your boat, the pier, or other boats in close proximity to
yours.
NOTICE! ACPS is designed for salt water applications
only; using the system in fresh water–while harmless–
will not protect your drive from corrosion.
The ACPS control module will be mounted near the
rear of the engine.
The module has green G and red R LED indicator
lights. The lights indicate the status of the system:
1 Green LED only indicates the system is working.
2 Green and red LEDs on, the system is working,
however the system is drawing power.
3 Red LED only, the system has power but is not
working (no protection).
4 No LEDS, the system does not have power, and is
not working (no protection).
If conditions 2, 3, or 4 exist, see Active Corrosion Pro-
tection System page 65 in Troubleshooting .
If your drive is not equipped with ACPS, the system
can be purchased from your authorized Volvo Penta
dealer.
