This application provides a podded propulsion device and a mobile
watercraft. The mobile
watercraft includes a
watercraft carrier and a podded propulsion device. The podded propulsion device includes a gantry, a podded propulsion main unit, a
rudder, a steering motor, and a drive control module. The gantry is connected to the watercraft carrier; the podded propulsion main unit is fixed to the gantry, the
rudder is rotatably connected to the gantry, and the steering motor is connected to the
rudder. The podded propulsion main unit and the rudder are both mounted on the gantry, forming an integral structure, which integrates propulsion power and steering structure, improving the steering efficiency of the electric boat and reducing the
turning radius. The gantry ensures that the relative positions of the podded propulsion main unit and the rudder are properly installed, improving the
rotational stability and steering reliability of the rudder. The drive control module controls the steering motor and the podded propulsion main unit respectively through
steering control lines and propulsion control lines. Through wire control, independent control of steering can be achieved, facilitating
intelligent control of the electric boat and improving control reliability.
