Hi Sarge,

You should see positive regen on both sides. I've also learned that at higher boat speeds (7+ knots) the notch just above neutral is not quite the optimum and to maximize regen you need to bring the throttles up just a little higher. Because of the 'notch' they don't stay in the best position so I have a couple of pencil erasers that I have shaved to wedge in and hold them there.

I presume you show negative current on both engines when motoring. If not you probably have a sensor issue. If you do then all I can suggest is to check the connections on the appropriate side variator.
