[PSUBS-MAILIST] reversing an electric motor

[Cliff Redus via Personal_Submersibles]

I use for MK 101's on my boat for each I use the OTS minn Kota motor
controller.

There is a 0-5 VDC potentiometer that comes on the board.  at mid point,
2.5 V the motor is off.   5

V full forward and 0 v full back.  Nice rugged controller.  Non linear
response so you get lots of fine control around the dead band at 2.5V.
