For the distance you plan to go you'll be find with that setup. Go with the flow and just use the electric to steer yourself around. Keep your motor lifted as high as is reasonable and keep an eye out for shallow spots just in case...I don't know the stretch you're planning to take, but I do know the river has some surprises.
Have fun and let us know how it goes!
edit: don't know what your plan is, but it wouldn't hurt to spend some time dragging a bottom bouncer along while you're drifting

Lots of skinny water near the Royal Glenora club and high level bridge area. Other then that a few shallow spots here and there. As for the fishing that stretch can be pretty dead but is better up river or down river outside the city...

I knew pigs could fly, never knew they were swimmers though!
