Hmmm, I suppose it would work a little. Think of it like this; If you were to take a single prop cessna and reverse the propeller, would it fly backwards?
The prop on the motor is designed to go forward, of course you can go reverse but not nearly as efficient. The cessna would go for a bit but slowly lose speed and crash. Much like the deep cell battery powering the motor.
Your best bet would be to mount a handle type motor on the stern of the boat and operate motor by hand in a forward position. Of course, without knowing all the details, you may be able to do this with your current motor with a motor mount.
