Another problem with electrolysis is going to be cost. The anodes in that "battery" are going to have to be replaced on a regular basis. Even if it can be made to work a propulsion system. it will be expensive. That alone would probably be a deal-killer.

If you want to charge your batteries by plugging into shore power you may have a nice electric boat, but you won't be able to fit enough solar panels or a big enough windmill to provide the power you need. "Rotoverter", "Ambient energy", "Radiant energy", "Electrolytic energy" all go in the same file with "Perpetual Motion".
