摘要

The present invention relates to an installation arrangement for a ship's propulsion unit comprising a modular motor unit (1) located outside the ship's body. Said motor unit comprises a motor (25) and a propeller (5) and it is intended to be connected to a structure (3) connected to the ship. At the end (7) opposite to said propeller (5) said motor unit (1) comprises fitting means arranged for fitting said motor unit (1) longitudinally to corresponding fitting means (6, 12) arranged at said structure (3) connected to the ship. The present invention also relates to a method in this context, according to which method said motor unit (1) is fitted, by the use of a longitudinal displacement in the direction of the motor's shaft (26), to a fitting piece comprising a connector plug means (12) which co-operates with corresponding means at said motor unit for supplying electrical power to the motor. The present invention also relates to a connector plug means comprising flexible connector means embedded in an insulating material.
