It contains a friction clutch (4) in the drive line between marine engine (2) and marine propeller (8). A device (10) controls the clutch pressure as a function of a maximum permissible control power of the friction clutch (4) during its slip phase in such a way that the maximum permissible control power is not reached or is not reached before the end of the slip phase. Reduction of the engine speed below a certain minimum value during the closing of the clutch is prevented by the predetermined slip phase. At the same time, the clutch is prevented from being overloaded by overheating in the slip phase. <IMAGE> |
