Simple answer is on a yacht the sails. On a motor boat is the engine.. This could be inboard or outboard..eg on an inboard this could be a 5.7 mercruiser(350 chev)Do you know anyone wants to weld a barge in France?
Could also be the propeller (screw) and propeller shaft or driveline, as in a car. Engine to shaft to screw= motion.The running gear is what makes the boat move. The propellers on a motorboat push the boat forward. Without the props the engines just burn gas. On a sailboat the same principle applies. Without the sails the wind is just blowing, but once the sails are up the boat moves.
