Abstract
There is provided a ship propulsion machine that gives a propulsive force to a ship, including: a power source; a propulsion device that converts power of the power source into a propulsive force of the ship; a power transmission mechanism that transmits power of the power source to the propulsion device; a casing that covers the power source and the power transmission mechanism; and a fine dust capturing device. The fine dust capturing device includes: a water intake which is provided in the casing and through which water around the ship propulsion machine is to be taken in, a capturer that captures fine dust contained in water taken in from the water intake, and a water outlet through which water in which the fine dust was captured by the capturer is to be discharged.

A ship propulsion machine that gives a propulsive force to a ship, comprising:
- a power source;
- a propulsion device that converts power of the power source into a propulsive force of the ship;
- a power transmission mechanism that transmits power of the power source to the propulsion device;
- a casing that covers the power source and the power transmission mechanism;
- and
- a fine dust capturing device, wherein
- the fine dust capturing device includes:
- a water intake which is provided in the casing and through which water around the ship propulsion machine is to be taken in,
- a capturer that captures fine dust contained in water taken in from the water intake, and
- a water outlet through which water in which the fine dust was captured by the capturer is to be discharged, and
- the fine dust capturing device is independent of a cooling system of the ship propulsion machine that cools the power source with water.
