A Hybrid Vessel Propulsion and Generation System diesel jet drive outboard and inboard motors, with an electrical generator attached to a prop shaft of the motors to generate electricity to power batteries. On large boats or ships with a gear change, the generator is mounted on the back of the gearbox and is attached to the prop shaft, with the generator being driven by rotation of the prop shaft and the drive of the gearbox. The system also incorporates electrically powered water thrusters and mechanical pressurised water turbines used for charging the batteries. The system also incorporates electric motors attached to propellers powered by electric batteries. Solar panels may be arranged in the port hole windows incorporating a housing, latch and lever arms to position them towards the sun.
