I would document your plan in detail and pay for a short consultation
with an ABYC-certified marine electrician.
Salt water is safer than fresh since the salt water is a better
conductor than the human body, but fresh water is not so the body
becomes the preferred path to ground for any stray currents in the
water. There are many compensating controls that can be put in place to
make the system safe to operate and safe to be around in a failure
situation.
James Lambden is a very good source of useful, professional information.
He is a member of this list and is a vendor (Electroprop). He can sell
you a complete system or just consult on how the safety of your system
can be improved, or anywhere in between. I have no affiliation with him
other than as a *very* satisfied customer.
From this list, you can get advice and ideas. From the vendors (like
James at Electroprop), you can get professional, useful advice on
fitness to purpose of your plan. Consider it money well spent.
Cheers,
/Jason
