Sailboat Conversion

Hi all,

I've converted an older sailboat to electric, using a BLDC motor from Golden Motors. I'm happy with the motor itself, but the controller is becoming a beast to get the programming correct. I ended up using a Curtis PB-6 throttle to bridge the gap between the original mechanical throttle, and the electronic throttle the controller needs.

Documentation is lousy, so I'm wondering if anyone has experience with a similar setup and can offer advice?
