Default ESC needed for bow thruster

Looking for a ESC that will produce equal power forwards and backwards for a bow thruster. Bought 4 and all have less power in reverse. Their ads didn't specify amount of amps forwords or backwards. So how does one find a specific ESC for a bow thruster??

I'm not a boat guy, but found this interesting, is it possible its the prop (itself) running in reverse that causes the loss?

Pitch is equal forwards and backwards. Bow thrusters have equal pull/push to them.

The Viper's are what many use for thruster control.
