A rotating electric machine includes a multi-phase armature coil having phase windings each constituted of a plurality of partial windings, and a winding support member supporting the partial windings from a radially outer or radially inner side thereof. Each of the partial windings has a pair of intermediate conductor portions and a pair of bridging portions connecting the pair of intermediate conductor portions. All the intermediate conductor portions of the partial windings are arranged in alignment with each other in a circumferential direction. In each of the partial windings, insulating members are mounted respectively on the bridging portions of the partial winding. Brackets are provided respectively in corresponding ones of the insulating members of the partial windings in such a manner as to partially protrude from the corresponding insulating members. Protruding portions of the brackets, which protrude from the corresponding insulating members, are mechanically joined to the winding support member.

A fluid moving apparatus includes an electric motor having a rotor and a stator and a propeller. The rotor rotates relative to the stator on an axis to generate a rotational output. The rotational output is provided to the propeller to power the marine propulsion apparatus. The stator includes one or more coils configured to power rotation of the rotor. The one or more coils extend circumferentially around and can be coaxial on the axis. A portion of a housing of the motor extends into the aquatic environment to facilitate heat dissipation.
