On my Holland, the motor is also too fast for good operation. I use a Futaba 9C to control it now, so I don't know if the WFLY can be made to mix throttle to throttle, but I have three mixes set this way : master and slave are both throttle. I use one 3 pos and one 2 pos switch.
This gives me six different throttle behaviors:
1) Full speed ahead and reverse as originally set up on the Viper 10 ESC.
2) Full lockout; prop will not spin in either direction no matter what position stick is bumped to. Great for panic cutting power to prop suddenly to locate a lost sub with slight + buoyancy.
3) Very slow RPM forward cruise control constant speed, regardless of stick position.
4) Throttle stick speed goes from zero to moderate forward only, no reverse. Stick pos 0 to 100%
5) Throttle stick speed from moderate reverse to moderate forward, with zero at 50% (middle).
6) A version of #1, with a little less forward power.
I also have a switch that mixes channel 4 to itself. This locks out my ballast pump. On the VIIC, it would prevent accidental vent or blow.
I've only been experimenting with this setup recently, but I think I like it. The switches are on right, so I can adjust throttle with left hand as switch state changes. I use #4 85 % of the time.
