24218273 Assisted Docking Software, D6-IPS, EVC-E | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta software licence 24218273. It enables Assisted Docking, the Electronic Vessel Control function that holds the boat against wind and current while the helmsman places it with the joystick. It is the D6-IPS version on the EVC-E generation of Electronic Vessel Control, the last of the lettered generations, and it is ordered one licence per driveline, so a twin installation takes two. Where thruster integration is also wanted, the combined kit is 24218272. Thruster integration on its own is 24235737. The licence is matched to the engine family, the control-system generation and the number of drivelines, so order against the number given for your own installation. Loading the software and configuring the system for it is dealer work.

🔌 Function

Volvo Penta accessory kits in this group add or enable a function on the Electronic Vessel Control system - the CAN-bus network that connects the engine, transmission, instruments and helm controls, and the platform the cruise control, trip computer, low-speed mode, joystick and autopilot functions run on. What this particular kit supplies in order to do that is not published.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Assisted Docking option missing or greyed out on the display, even with a joystick, DPS antenna and Glass Cockpit screen of 7 inches or larger fitted
• Docking assist working on one engine of a twin D6 installation but not the other, since a licence is needed per driveline
• The function not returning after the joystick or a display is replaced

🛠️ Service Notes

• Electronic Vessel Control accessories are tied to the system generation - Volvo Penta's accessories catalogue quotes a required generation against each item, so establish which generation your boat runs before ordering
• That same catalogue splits its features into ones a dealer can retrofit, ones a dealer can retrofit but only with major installation work, and ones fitted only when the boat is built - worth settling which of the three you are dealing with before buying hardware
• Nothing is published about the contents of this kit, so ask your dealer to confirm what is in the box against the parts you actually need
• Order one software kit per driveline: a twin D6 installation needs two
• Retrofit prerequisite: Dynamic Positioning System (DPS) software is required as well as this Assisted Docking software
• Retrofit prerequisite: a joystick, the DPS antenna and a Volvo Penta Glass Cockpit screen of 7 inches or larger must be present
• Upper gear IPS1-A to IPS1-C has to be upgraded to IPS1-D to F before Assisted Docking and the Dynamic Positioning System will function
• Match the EVC generation first: EVC-E installations take a different software number from EVC2
