Helmut's Marine Service

Inside the Volvo Penta factory in Lexington 🇺🇸🔧

There’s something pretty incredible about seeing where it all comes together. From assembly to testing, getting a behind-the-scenes look at the people and processes behind Volvo Penta power.

After nearly four decades representing Volvo Penta, it’s always special to see the craftsmanship behind the red engines we work with every day.

Freshly reborn.
Greetings from Sweden, where Nate is touring Volvo Penta's remanufacturing facility — and this is a pile of D6 blocks about to get a second life powering vessels like yours.
Volvo Penta Reman engines are rebuilt to factory spec in the same plants that build them new, backed by a full factory warranty, and typically priced well below new. For an aging D4 or D6, it's often the smartest path between another repair bill and a full repower.

Chart Your Course

We’re excited to introduce Chart Your Course, a Helmut’s Marine Service initiative created to connect the next generation with real career opportunities in the marine trades.

On Saturday, September 26, 2026, invited students enrolled in technical, trade, vocational, internship, apprenticeship, or career-readiness programs will have the opportunity to explore the Sausalito Boat Show, meet marine industry professionals, and learn firsthand about careers ranging from technicians and riggers to parts, service, yard operations, and more.

This is about showing students that there are rewarding, hands-on career paths available right here on the waterfront—and giving them a chance to see where those paths can lead.
