Two questions:
1) Will the 80lb thrust be powerful enough to effectively backtroll in faster river currents. It will be running on a 19.5' Jetcraft.
2) How many hours of run time can I probably expect per charge?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Won't work in faster currents and even in gentler currents control will be quite weird with a bow mount.

Abandon that idea and get a gas motor.
