Hank, 
just take a pair of speedos & hope it doesn't fail in winter!

Minn kotta has this. I think they can automatically hold position
in a current. Just using it to pull the sub off the trailer may be
of benefit. Also you can always keep a rope attached.

IF you use the potentiometer that is on the board, that's it.  When the potentiometer is in the centralized potion, the motor is off.  Pot is non linear so lots of control at low speed.  If you want to control through a PLC, all you have to do is cut the leads from the pot and have the PLC send a 0-5vdc signal.  0v is full one way, 2.5V is off and 5vdc is full the opposite direction.  That is it.  Very easy to wire.
