Compare This. You Will Need A 3 phase Generator. A Soft Start 150 HP Starter This Is The Control That Starts The Motor. It Will Cost Well Over $1500, The Generator Will Cost Big Bucks, The Motor Isn`t Cheep, Around $1400. Plus The Wiring. Then Some Type Of Gearing Or Transmission Of Power From Motor To Propellers. Also Check Out The Weight Of All This. A Good Sub Might Be OK ! But A Boat NO WAY !

Or an extension cord that is as big around as your arm from the power company to your boat. Or you could use 31 car batteries that would run it for a couple minutes. Now if your talking about a ship. Diesel electric and Steam electric engines went out years ago as they are not economical. However they made going from forward to reverse easy.Wiki User
