A pod housing (9) is rigidly connected to the end of said elongate hollow shaft and the transmission axle to extends into an inner compartment of the pod housing (9). The inner compartment accommodates an angle drive connecting the transmission axle to a propeller shaft (10) which extends from said inner compartment to the exterior of the pod housing (9) through a second aperture in a sealed manner. The hollow housing (8) has an elongate cross-section so as to provide a fin-shape.
