Thanks for the info BruceShould be with the documentation for the controller. If not, look on the controller maker's site. If you buy the controller from the manufacturer be sure to tell them what motor you will be using so they can make the proper configuration settings. If you use a Kelly controller, be sure it is flashed with the "stick shift throttle" firmware. If this is then enabled in the configuration, you can use one control for both speed and direction. Typically a controller puts out a 5v supply to the throttle and the throttle control sends a control signal back to the controller that is simply a dc voltage between 0v and 5v which is read by the controller as the speed command, A switch grounds the REV pin for reverse. The stickshift option eliminates the need for a reverse switch. Half of the 0-5v range of the throttle input signal sets forward speed. Half of the range sets reverse speed. Right in the middle, a narrow range sets the motor at stop. A potentiometer of 1000 to 10k ohm can serve as the control device, or you can use a hall type throttle. I don't know if the Golden or Sevcon controllers have that feature or not.
Basically you have three big phase cable connections. Probably 5 wires going to the hall sensor array in the motor for the three hall signals, supply voltage, and ground. Three wires to the throttle, 5v, signal, and ground. Two wires for system ON switch, two for Reverse.. Brake signal not needed unless you will sail fast enough to make use of regen. Optional boost switch, of use mostly to motorcycle builders and not much use for boats. Two wires for internal motor thermistor switch. A couple of optional external LEDs. Documentation will have pinouts. Premade wiring harnesses could have smallish phase and power cables and you really should go with about 2/0 cable for those. Everything else is likely to be too short or too long, The multiple wire blade connectors will be a source of trouble. So I suggest you get the appropriate connectors to plug directly into the ! controller and wire everything yourself. You can use screw terminal blocks to break everything up, and be sure to label wires for ease of troubleshooting or repair.
