The invention relates to a method for assembling the machinery in a vessel. According to the method a driving engine means (2) and a propulsion device (3) are mounted each on its own side of a separate flange means (9), said flange means (9) essentially adapting to the design of said vessel. An essential part of any control and auxiliary devices (23) to be connected to the driving machinery and said propulsion device (3) as well as of any further engine space equipment (19, 20) are also mounted on said flange means (9). Said flange means (9) with said devices attached thereto is attached as such in an assembled state to an aperture (17) made in the hull (16) of the vessel, so that said flange means (9) completely covers said aperture (17) and at the same at that position forms an operating part of the hull structure (16) of said vessel. The invention further relates to a propulsion drive unit for a water vessel, said unit comprising driving engine means (2), propulsion device means (3) connected to said engine (2), and control and peripheral apparatuses for said means. Between said driving engine means (2) and said propulsion device means (3) there is a separate flange means (9), which corresponds to the design of the hull (16) of any respective vessel used, said flange means (9) comprising fastenings (18) for said driving engine means (2) and said propulsion device (3), said propulsion device (3) suitably being a water jet propulsion device or a stern drive device. |
