Clutch connection
#1
I have +ve & -ve clutch connection on my Raymarine linear drive but only 1 clutch terminal on Pypilot.

Which one do I connect please??

I'm not a user of this (yet) but regarding documentation +ve should go to +12v power source and -ve should go to -clutch terminal on board.
Anyway, double check this before connecting
Good luck,

Yes, the clutch output on the motor controller connects this to ground (-ve) as you said. So your ve+ would just connect to 12v. It does pwm this output to potentially save power as well.

This also gives you the option to actually also supply a lower voltage, such as +12v to ve+ if the clutch is 12v but the motor is 24v for example.
