2. Trolling motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolling_motor

   A trolling motor is a self-contained marine propulsion unit that includes an electric motor, propeller and control system, and is affixed to an angler's boat, either at the bow or stern. A gasoline-powered outboard used in trolling , if it is not the vessel's primary source of propulsion, may also be referred to as a trolling motor.

3. Sterndrive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterndrive

   The outdrive resembles the bottom half of an outboard motor and is composed of two sub-units: an upper containing a driveshaft connected through the transom to an engine which transmits power to a 90-degree-angle gearbox; and the lower containing a vertical driveshaft receiving power from the upper unit gearbox, transmitted through another 90 ...

4. Self-steering gear - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-steering_gear

   Wheel mounting, in which a motor is mounted near the steering wheel, and can be engaged with it when in use. This typically involves either a belt drive or a toothed gear-ring attached to the wheel itself, and is a common option for retro-fitted installations on yachts with a wheel.

5. Azipod - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azipod

   Electric power for the propulsion motor is conducted through slip rings that let the Azipod unit rotate 360 degrees about the vertical axis. [8] Because Azipod units utilize fixed-pitch propellers, [ 9 ] power is always fed through a variable-frequency drive or cycloconverter that allows speed and direction control of the propulsion motors.

6. Transom (nautical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transom_(nautical)

   Vertical transom and stern of a modern cargo ship. In some boats and ships, a transom is the aft transverse surface of the hull that forms the stern of a vessel. Historically, they are a development from the canoe stern (or "double-ender") wherein which both bow and stern are pointed. Transoms add both strength and width to the stern.

7. Outboard motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outboard_motor

   An outboard motor is a propulsion system for boats, consisting of a self-contained unit that includes engine, gearbox and propeller or jet drive, designed to be affixed to the outside of the transom. They are the most common motorised method of propelling small watercraft.
