Abstract
A hybrid ship propulsion machine includes an internal-combustion-drive propulsion part and an electric propulsion part. The electric propulsion part is attached to a first housing part of the internal-combustion-drive propulsion part, and is disposed at a position higher than an anti-cavitation plate of the internal-combustion-drive propulsion part such that a second propeller of the electric propulsion part sinks below a water surface during low-speed movement, which is not a planing state of a ship, and the second propeller comes out of the water surface during planing of the ship.
