The arrangement comprises a gearwheel (40) connected to the propulsion unit (20), at least one steering electric motor (60) operatively connected to the gearwheel and controlled by a drive (65), a force transmission arrangement (50) comprising a clutch (100) between the gearwheel and the steering electric motor, and a measurement unit (210, 220) for measuring rotational motion positioned at each side of the clutch. The at least one steering electric motor is arranged to rotate the steering wheel and thereby also the propulsion unit. A difference in the output signals of the two measuring units indicating slipping of the clutch is detected. The steering electric motor is controlled to at least reduce the difference in the output signals when the difference exceeds a predetermined threshold.
