VEC500 regen on a sailboat? Anyone gotten it to work yet?

[Sventropy]

Anyone gotten the regenerative breaking to work on their boat yet? I see a few folks have installed systems, what parameters are you using and what are your results? Thanks.

i'm trying to figure it out....

A Youtuber (The Digital Mermaid) seams to have solved it:

The controller in that video is a Kelly KLS-72100N controller that supports variable regen, but I seem to recall that the VEC500 controller does not support variable regen.

Regen on the VEC controller is either On or Off and should engage when the brake switch contacts are closed, and disengage when the contacts are open.
