have you got the card with the 12 settings? if so you only have 4 programmable settings for the 120
setting 1 running mode, 1=forward only 2=forward backward

setting 2 lipo cells, 1=auto calculate 2= 2cells 3= 3cells 4= 4cells 5=5cells 6=6cells

setting 3 low voltage, 1= auto 2=2.8v/cell 3=3.0v/cell 4=3.3v/cell 5=3.4v/cell

setting 4 timing, 1= 0.00*, 2=3.75*, 3=7.5*, 4=11.25*, 5=15.00*, 6=18.74*, 7=22.5*, 8=26.25*,

the settings that are on the front of the card do not actually relate to the marine esc took a while for me to find this out.

the timing I run may be a little on the high side although my temps when running 15* are ok., you may want to run at 11.25*

set mine on these settings and all seemed to be ok

running mode=1, forward only
lipos = 4, 4cells
low voltage = 4, 3.2v/cell
timing = 5, 15.00* maybe drop that to 4, 11.25*

this is what mines set at not saying this is the right settings just what I use

I went from 15 timing to 11 and it didn't seem to make any difference to the speed but temps were lower. I use the seaking card and it tells you the boat settings on the front. So at the mo I'm running the same esc settings as Griff and all ok.

Turnigy ESC Program Card Marine, K-Force, EZ-Run V1/V2 and the only setting I can use are,1 forward/Reverse and and lipo cut off,this cannot be right surely ?? running a Turnigy 120a esc..
