I recently inherited a boat with a pair of Minn Kota Riptide saltwater series controllers for 101 pound motors. Does anyone have a schematic for the controllers; or any experience hacking them?
The twist grip appears to be attached to a variable rheostat that sends a signal to the circuitry on the controller. I think this is a PWM controller, so the resistance in the rheostat is signalling the electronics with how much current to deliver to the motor?
I am considering something more electronic and less mechanical. This would also give me the option of a strictly manual backup.
Thanx for any ideas.
