I have a trolling motor which does not have variable speed control. So, I'm running the intake voltage through a PWM, variable speed controller. Has worked great for the last two years. I just bought a new one which has a reverse switch. Will it do any damage to the motor reversing the power supply via the switch? I'd mostly use it to back out of weed beds etc. without having to rotate the tiller control all the way to reverse. I believe most/all electric motors run fine if the power leads are reversed but thought I'd through it out here for comments. I believe when you rotate the tiller from forward to reverse the power is just switched or reversed anyways. Thank you.
