I have a prop with a good 'bite' (Same prop that was paired with the
direct drive 2 stroke) and the boat has quite some inertia, the prop can
continue to rotate for 10-15 seconds. And i'd rather it no go into
braking mode when the throttle is at 0 as I may really want to 'coast'.
What it needs to do is go into high regen braking the moment you go past
0 to slow the shaft quickly and then reverse.

I had exactly the same conversation with them - I use a 400amp
controller on with a 100amp motor - just to make sure there is plenty of
head room. The amps out is not scaled, so the meter never went past 1/4
deflection. I tried to ask if they could scale the meter off the current
limit setting, not the full rated load, but they didn't seem to
understand what I was asking.

It works under VirtualBox :-). You do need a valid windows license for
the virtual machine though.

The output terminals on the PM controllers are awfully close. Once the
terminal bolts are secured there is only a few mm clearance.
Fortunately a few mm is enough clearance at 48v. A dropped paperclip
could short my output terminals. (However this is very very unlikely to
happen :-)
