That's a pretty ambitious project, and Id like to know how it turns out. I'm guessing that you will be using this on a lake and not a moving body of water.

Why not build your own drive train and use an electric motor? If you had an inboard powered boat, I would think it could be easily done. An inboard/outboard could also be converted easily, I would think.

my inboard motor is dead now, so i am wanting to create a situation where i have two forms of propulsion... 1) electric trolling motor. 2) forklift motor mated up to my outdrive.

i will be using this in open ocean, but only during very calm weather.

That's a pretty ambitious project,

when it comes to mechanical things, i am a dope, but with software i am more qualified.

i dont have a clue what i am doing, ffs.

None of us do. Once I learned that, it made everything I do less stressful. We're all figuring things out as we go along.

Where are you getting your ideas and research?
