What battery do you recommend and how long will it last on a charge to push a 10ft kayak around?

We recommend 100AH capacity battery, can be used continuously under the maximum throttle time: 100/90 = 1.1h, if not continuously used under the maximum throttle, 100AH capacity battery life of about 2-3 hours.

How many conductors are in the cable between the controller and the thrusters?

The wire length between each thruster and white control box is 1.5m. 3 core wire:3*4 square.

In case the motor catch some weeds, Will it stuck and hurt the engine, or can chop it out, how to handle that？

Our thruster has a blocking protectio function,blocking protection is when the propeller is blocked by foreign objects, will trigger the blocking protection, stop operation.

Will this push a 10 foot kayak?What are the recommended batteries?

Yes, it can, at 7-13 km/h.Recommended battery is 24V (When the battery is fully charged, the ESC supports up to 29.2V) with a maximum thrust of 16.8KG (37.04LBS).

The motors is fresher water only as described. Does that mean it can't be used in saltwater at all?

U5set is only suitable for use inside fresh water, seawater will corrode the motor, U5 is a cost-effective product without anti-corrosion treatment, seawater use will rapidly shorten the life of the thruster.
