RC servo without the RC?

I was afraid nobody was going to respond without a video link...

I clipped the signal wire out, mover the hot and ground directly to the motor, and remover the mechanical stop from the bottom side of the output gear south would turn continuous.

I still need to install a switch for left, right, stop. So, is there a rheostat or something that will give me left, right, stop with speed control as well? The speed looks ok the way it is but I won't know till I put it in p,ace on the dock with a barge tied to it. A great big switch I could operate with the drag bucket would be interesting!
