No that wont work. You would be converting electrical to mechanical energy with considerable loss, but unavoidable. Then you want to take the same mechanical energy and convert some of that back to electrical energy to put back in the same batteries you got the original electrical energy from in the first place. Even with 100% efficiency you have zero gain, and you will never have 100% efficiency anyway.
What you can do, if it is a sailboat, is use the motor as a generator and the prop as a water turbine to power it, while sailing fast. You get a very small amount of regenerated power this way at considerable increase in resistance due to the load on the prop from the motor acting as a generator. Unless you have a fast boat, the amount of electricity you make this way is negligible, though.
