The drive unit is designed to be mounted on a marine vessel, including a mobile housing, and is able to pivot around an axis against the hull of the marine vessel. A drive shaft mounted rotary is against the mobile housing and is supported by two roller bearings. A propulsion element rotates in solidarity with the drive shaft. The propulsion unit has, at the front, at least two braking and locking systems of the drive shaft located in an area between the upstream rolling bearing and propulsion element.
