Many components can be mixed/matched, so it can sometimes be difficult to tell which drive it actually is.

They don't lend themselves to an easy inspection without removing one end. [links]
Manoeuverability
Whether at high speed, making sharp turns, or when docking in a crowded marina – the grip is there. Duoprop also reduces the boat’s tendency to roll.
Matched with perfect balance
The key to success is the balance between the front and rear propeller. Through extensive propulsion engineering experience and testing the result is a perfect match between drivetrain and propellers. more
Counter rotating twin propellers
The counter rotating twin propellers eliminates the lateral forces existing in conventional single prop sterndrives. That means the engine’s energy and power is concentrated on driving the boat forward - not sideways.
Each propeller type is developed exclusively for a specific drive and engine. The front and rear propellers must interact in perfect harmony to deliver optimized performance. Volvo Penta has done extensive testing to ensure a perfect match throughout to complete drivetrain. Wrong balance leads to excessive wear on the drivetrain. That’s why it is vital to always choose Genuine Volvo Penta Duoprop propellers. more
Faster acc eleration
Duoprop provides up to 30 % faster acceleration and produces a top speed some 5 % faster than any conventional single propeller system - without increasing the fuel consumption. At partial load you can expect between 10–12 % lower fuel consumption. more
Faster planing
A better grip in the water means getting up onto the plane faster. And staying there at low revs. here
