Abstract: A propulsion apparatus includes a screw, a unit case, an anti-cavitation plate, a heat generation portion, and a cooling liquid passage. The screw is submerged in outside water and generates a propulsion force. The unit case accommodates at least a power transmission mechanism which transmits power from a drive source to the screw. The anti-cavitation plate is arranged on the unit case at a higher position than the screw, and at least part of the anti-cavitation plate is submerged in outside water. The heat generation portion is arranged at an inside or an outside of the unit case. The cooling liquid passage causes a cooling liquid to flow to the heat generation portion. Part of the cooling liquid passage is arranged within the anti-cavitation plate.

Abstract: The present disclosure improves impact resistance of an electric outboard machine. The electric outboard machine includes an outboard machine body and an attachment. The attachment attaches the outboard machine body to a rear part of a boat. The outboard machine body includes a propeller, an electric motor that drives the propeller, and a controller that controls the motor. The controller is located between the motor and the attachment. If another boat collides with the boat from behind, the controller arranged between the motor and the attachment is easily protected from the impact upon rear-end collision. This can improve impact resistance of the electric outboard machine.
