    Abstract: The ongoing electrification revolution, originating in the automotive industry, has now expanded into the marine sector. This transition from internal combustion engines to electric motors necessitates careful adjustments due to the unique characteristics of electric motors, notably their high starting force. In the context of watercraft, where structural modifications are undesirable, this disclosure introduces a drive system fixation unit. This unit effectively redirects the sterndrive force from the stern wall to the sturdy structural base of the watercraft, ensuring a seamless integration of electric propulsion without compromising the vessel's integrity.
