However you may have to wire the compressor to the generator direct, cause it's a 9KW gen. Divide 9000 by 120 and you get 75 amps.
I assume the boat is a 50 amp electrical system, if so the limiting factor is not the generator, but the boats electrical system.
Wire the motor for 240vac and your current will be half.
