Default Electric trolling motors

Both Minnkota and Motor Guide produce electric trolling motors big
enough to use as auxiliaries on small sailboats. Has anyone tried
running these motors as generators to charge the on-board batteries?
Does anyone know the motor configuration (permanent magnet, shunt wound,
series wound)?
