Only Marine Sterndrive Manufacturer to Receive CSI Award for 2015 

The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) has presented the 13th consecutive annual Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) award to Volvo Penta for its gasoline sterndrive engines.

The CSI awards, presented at the Miami International Boat Show Feb. 11, recognize boat and engine manufacturers for excellence in customer satisfaction. Volvo Penta was the only company to win a CSI award in the sterndrive category this year.

The marine industry CSI award signifies that Volvo Penta achieved and maintained a standard of 90 percent or higher in customer satisfaction, based on surveys of over 67,000 customers who purchased a new boat or engine during the period from April 1 to Dec. 31, 2015.

“At Volvo Penta, we take customer satisfaction very seriously. That’s why we’re the only gasoline sterndrive manufacturer to have won this award every single year since the program’s inception,” said Ron Huibers, president of Volvo Penta of the Americas. “Our new high-tech gasoline engines, which we introduced during the past year, formed a large percentage of the engines reviewed in the CSI survey for 2015. These new engines, based on technology advances never before available in a marine gas engine, give customers a unique combination of high performance, fuel efficiency, quality and reliability, and they’re backed by our industry-leading warranty programs and after-sale support. Special credit goes to our network of servicing dealers, who are largely responsible for our continued success in giving customers a boating experience that’s second to none.”

Pontoon boats began in the early 1950s as basically four steel drums lashed to a frame. They were not unlike the log rafts of ancient cultures and not much more sophisticated at first.

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
