Sorry all, i do have the new controller built - and 2 installed - just slowed down with a broken finger (cast on since 4 weeks ago, the day after i put my boat in finally..)
If you want physical controls it supports a 3 way switch like before, and 3 buttons (left/off/right) with LED lights for modes - or just app control. You wire it and set the specific configuration in the app - no code mods needed. The app lets you adjust the deploy times on the fly while riding, default settings - as well as tweaking all the settings the controller uses. Currently the app is only an android APK and i need to make it a prettier, but it works fine. Control is over wireless bluetooth. I do have an android wear app for controlling while surfing but the range is spotty at the moment -if i can improve i'll release.
From personal experience - i would not recommend a screen/touchscreen arduino on a boat. Marine environment is tough on parts in general - and there's no decent arduino driven touchscreens that aren't expensive or extremely fragile. I had an OLED display on my previous build that i removed because it was a pain in the butt. The phone is a MUCH better controller, everyone has one already, and you can see speed, deploy, settings, etc all on the app. You're better off grabbing a $20 fire tablet and using that than a dedicated screen.
