The invention provides a pod-type water jet propulsion unit, which comprises an installation platform, a pod propeller bracket arranged at the lower end of the installation platform, a pod propeller cabin body arranged at the lower end of the pod propeller bracket, a pod propeller cabin body arranged at the pod propulsion The motor base in the cabin body, the motor installed on the motor base, the transmission shaft connected to the output end of the motor, the water jet propulsion pump installed on the transmission axis, the lower end of the pod propeller cabin is provided with an inlet, a side A spout is provided, a flow channel is formed between the inlet and the spout, and the spout is set facing the water jet propulsion pump, and the upper end of the installation platform is provided with a data transmitter and a hydraulic steering device. The present invention is on the basis of maintaining the advantages of the original water jet propeller, adding the bracket, cabin body, electric propulsion system and steering device of the pod propeller, thereby reducing the complicated mechanical transmission mechanism and reversing device of the water jet propeller, further The propulsion efficiency and operational performance of the thrusters are improved, the noise is reduced and the stealth performance is enhanced.
