The disclosure relates to a pod propulsion system (300) including first and second counter rotating propellers (318, 322) for providing thrust to propel a marine vessel. The pod propulsion system (300) includes a first electric motor (314) for rotating the first propeller (318) and electrically coupled to a first drive (304) that is configured to control the first electric motor (314). The pod propulsion system (300) also includes a second electric motor (316) for rotating the second propeller (322) and electrically coupled to a second drive (306) that is configured to control the second electric motor (316). The first and second drives (304, 306) respectively control the first and second electric motors (314, 316) interdependently.
