Admittedly, I've not been following the dialog, but what are we trying to accomplish here? Is this a remotely controlled thruster?
My project is a foot-controlled, hands-free, dual trolling motor fishing boat. I have great success with Dimension Engineering's dual control PWM panel using linear magnetic membrane strips for input. This control panel also accepts remote control input.

The gear motor at the far right was added by Alex and attached to the end of the silver handle which now points mostly down. It broke in transit from Maine. The silver portion is the original speed control handle. It attaches to the white "soft rheostat". I believe this sends a resistance value to the PWN circuitry on teh rest of the controller. There are actually two flat ribbon cables, each with three wires. I think I want to wire a seperate rheostat to this location to control the speed, but the wiring connections have be a bit perplexed.
