This is an idea that some of y'all on the list may like to discuss. Me =
thinks it may work...

Why not use a electric motor coupled to the drive shaft for a 'get home' =
drive system?  In the smaller trawlers, like my own, we have smaller =
gen-sets that do not allow for hyd. pumps and the like but, they produce =
electricity. Another advantage that I could see with this setup is that =
when under weigh on the main engine, the electric motor would be driven =
by the turning prop shaft and be able to produce electricity to run the  =
A/C and other things w/o running the gen-set. This system would not need =
to be overly expensive ( usually common problem for us smaller trawler =
owners) and short of fabricating the mounting bracket, a fairly simple =
install.

What do you think?
