Default Water driven DC generator

The other day I saw what I took for a generator system that looked
like a trolling motor. I see that Ampair makes a couple of boat towed
water turbine units but they don't look like the unit I saw. I'm
curious as to what my trolling motor would generate if towed and
whether it could be used in a charge-pump circuit to do battery charge
duty. Anyone have any experience with towed generators?
