The present disclosure provides hydraulic power sources for watercraft. Example power sources can include: a watercraft having an engine; a variable ratio drive assembly operably engaged with the engine; a hydraulic pump operably engaged with the variable ratio drive assembly; and a hydraulic motor powered by the hydraulic pump. The present disclosure also provides methods for providing hydraulic power aboard a watercraft. Example methods can include: using an engine of the watercraft to drive a variable ratio drive assembly; using the variable ratio drive assembly to drive a hydraulic pump; using the hydraulic pump to power a hydraulic motor; and using the hydraulic motor to drive a load.
