Assume you are talking about a boat and a water skier. Yes it will work. I have been towed by a 35 HP outboard. It depends on the skill of the skier to be able to get up quickly. It also depends on the skis and the drag they cause while being pulled from the water.

Will a 10 hp 220 volt motor draw large amounts of electricity?

A single phase 10 HP motor will draw aproximately 50 amps. A three phase 10 HP motor will draw aproximately 28 amps.


What size electric motor will replace a 16 hp gas motor?

Horsepower is horsepower, so a 16 hp electric motor could, on the surface, replace a 16 hp gas motor. Things to consider, however, include RPM and torque. Gas engines are inefficient, to replace a 16 hp gas engine it would take only a 8 hp electric. standard closest size would be a 10 hp. I have done this several times on air compressors and hydraulic pumps.


Which capacity of generator is required to run 25 hp electric motor this motor will be used to run a water pump to pump the water from tube well?

25 HP is 25 HP, no matter how you slice it and dice it.


How much current will a 5 hp 1 phase 120V motor pull?

The largest 120V motor generally available is 3hp. A 3hp, 120V motor draws about 30 amperes. All true 5hp motors I have seen are 230V or higher. Note that some motors, such as compressors and vacuum cleaners, use artificially high hp numbers to entice you to buy their unit (they will use terms like peak-developed hp, etc.). These ratings are not true hp, and you just have to go by the nameplate rating on the unit. For instance, I have a Sanborn Air Compressor that claims 4 PEAK horsepower, yet only draws 17 amperes at 120V. Its really closer to a 2hp motor.
