i do not really need regen on the house boat but these ac drives have it and turning the prop 180 degrees and driveing it backwards it should work better and can be tested at different speeds . the cryslers bigger props and and no thru exhaust should make great electric drives and bow thrusters.
i think a small wind gen would work beter on a houseboat .

I am in the process of taking a Chrysler 75 HP and making an electric out board.
I used a 3HP treadmill motor, its controller board and speed control knob.
I have only been able to test it on land so far in a garbage can full of water.
I used a killawatt meter to determine current draw and the most current it takes is about 750Watts, using house hold A/C 120V.
I plan to use a 1500Watt inverter with 24V of batteries.
This is a relatively cheap conversion.
Maybe it would work for a bow thruster, but you wouldn't get regen.
