Abstract: A propulsion unit includes a housing supported on a vessel. A propeller shaft extends in the housing. The propeller shaft is rotatably supported with a first bearing and a second bearing. A propeller is attached to at least one end of the propeller shaft. The first bearing includes a first radial bearing and a first thrust bearing. The first radial bearing is a sliding bearing positioned axially inside the first thrust bearing. The first bearing is positioned at the first end of the housing and the second bearing being positioned at the second end of the housing or vice a versa.

Abstract: A propulsion unit (1) for a marine vessel, comprising a shell structure (2), a shaft (4) rotatably coupled to a propulsion motor (3) inside the shell structure (2), and a propeller (5) coupled to the shaft (4) outside the shell structure (2). A shaft seal arrangement (6) is provided to engage the shaft (4), such that at least a first seal chamber (6a) is delimited between adjacent seal lips (6′) and the shaft (4). A first lubrication arrangement is provided for circulating a first lubricant through the first seal chamber (6a). The first lubrication arrangement (7) further comprises a first lubricant heat exchanger (7e) arranged at least partly outside of the shell structure (2) for conducting the first lubricant therethrough and for transferring heat from the first lubricant to an outside environment of the shell structure (2).
