[Electric Boats] gearing question....

 

does gearing an electric motor make any sense?   because electric motors generate the same torque at all revs doesn't gearing them do nothing but introduce a bit of power loss at the prop due to whatever friction is present in the reduction mechanism?   i guess you'd have to eliminate cooling via a motor incorporated fan as a concern...
