There is nothing new under the sun
This has been tried over the years, including specifically and specially rewinding an alternator, and replacing the rotor with permanent magnets.
The results have always not been worth the hassle. Either a take off of the existing prop, or a separate prop shaft have been used. The seperate prop shaft was the worst, more holes in the boat, always more drag to slow the boat down etc.... Also once you start getting deep into this you find out that the idea shape of a prop to be pulled through the water to generate electricity is not at all the shape of the props that we use on boats.
I have seen a few boats go this route after having been sold on it. The costs added up quickly for this free power. All of them later told me that it was the biggest waste of money they had spent in preparation for cruising.
A better idea would be to design a pancake generator like some folks are doing for home made wind generators and try that... Of course that raises the cost of entry into the experiment. I still would not expect it to work out well.
A passage of say 1800 miles, the difference in the duration of the passage would be about 3 days... So the question becomes is the generation system going to generate enough amperage to give you an additional 3 days of electricity for every 12 you are out? What is the cost of this active system versus the cost of a passive system such as additional solar panels.
This is the same issue we face as a country right now. To increase generation of power, or to become more efficient at using it. This is an easier equation on our boats. Such as do you already have a wind vane steering system, that saves 100's of amp hours a day over an autopilot. Do you have CF or led lights everywhere? Is your refigeration as well insulated as it can be? These are much more likely to give a good ROI than more power generation.
YMMV
