Abstract: An electric marine propulsion system including steering and vertical position control is provided. The electric drive assembly includes a main drive motor transmitting torque through a shaft to a propeller. The electric drive assembly integrates a dual rudder system positioned ahead of the main drive propeller. The rudder assemblies integrate electric stern thrusters for low-speed maneuvering. The steering and vertical position adjustments for the drive assembly are electrically operated. The electric drive assembly is installed entirely outside the hull of the watercraft.
