I use a PLC to interface between the MK controller cards as 0-5 vdc signal.  Just cut off the POT and connect the control signal where the POT was.  Lots of ways to skin the cat.

Awesome. Thanks Cliff. So what you need is just the lower end, the prop, and a meathod of controlling it right? I was thinking about a 4 channel controller to control all four and use joy sticks,  ut I might be able to rewire the controller you are getting and hook it up to the joysticks.Thanks,Scott Waters

I recently ordered four Minn Kota 101 lower units for the R300 upgrade.  The MKD part number is 2886289.  They cost $265 each.  The associated controller card is MINN KOTA TRAXXIS TROLLING MOTOR MAIN CONTROL BOARD Pn 2184017 which cost  $126.95 each.  I am using an after market 3 bladed prop; then Kipawa 80/01 - Weedless Trolling Motor Replacement Prop for Minn Kota Motors.
All works fine on the bench.  Have not got them in the water.

Hey guys. I am needing to order some Minkota motors for my new sub. I want them to be 36 volt and have plenty of power for my K-350. I am planning on two vectored thrusters on the top for crab and up/down motion and planning for two vectored on the stern for turn and forward/backward motion. 
What suggestions do you guys out there with Minkota experience have? Should I go with the saltwater or freashwater verson (I am planning on using the sub in the ocean).
Thanks,Scott Waters
