Abstract
A mounting structure for mounting a propulsion unit to a hull of a floating structure includes a first mounting surface and a sealed portion provided on the first mounting surface for sealing the propulsion unit to the hull. The first mounting surface is further provided with a pivot point provided at an edge or in the vicinity of an edge of the first mounting surface and outside the sealed portion, and at least two first protrusions spaced from each other on the first mounting surface. Each of the first protrusions includes a surface at least on a side of the first protrusion facing away from the pivot point, which surface is formed at least in a direction perpendicular to the first mounting surface in a manner dependent of a distance between the pivot point and the surface in such a manner that the first protrusion provided in a cylindrical cavity formed in a counterpart is configured to guide a mutual tilting movement of the cylindrical cavity and the first protrusion, when the mounting structure and, thus, the first protrusions are tilted with respect to the cylindrical cavities about the pivot point.
