Thank you or your input anyway.
What actually controls the 1/2 speed reverse mode on the 1204? Would reversing the 2-pin connector on the controller have any affect?

Leave the S1&S2 switched and now switch the A1&A2 leads. That should get the F/R switch and motor direction back in sync.

If your Marathon has a pot-box type throttle, disconnect the two wires between the pot-box and the F/R assembly to get rid of the 1/2 speed.

What happens is that a microswitch on the F/R places a 5K fixed resistor in parallel with the 0-5K pot, so the controller only sees 0-2.5K rather than the normal 0-5K.
