Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Brush less controls

Throttle response can be set by open loop or closed loop.

Open loop allows the motor speed to vary with the load. The motor speed will climb and fall as the boat is going over waves.

Closed loop will maintain the motor speed automatically, like cruise control.

Be Well,

Different controllers control with different algorithms. Many can be re-programmed to behave differently. Check your particular controller model for which algorithm they use (i.e., ask their service desk for example). If yours is programmable, you might have it changed if some other style is more to your liking.
