Replaced spa pack with Balboa BP7. Spa is set-up for 240, but the pump is 115v. How do I get it to provide just the pump with 115?

I have an Evolution Spas Rockport plug-n-play that I converted to 240. After several years, the spa pack fried out. I couldn't find the stock spa pack, so I replaced it with a BP7 unit. The motor short cycles, and I have narrowed the issue down to it being a 115v motor that is receiving 240v. I see in the instructions how to convert the entire pack to 115, but my breaker provides 240. So really, I just need to figure out how to supply just the pump with 115v. I have an inquiry into Balboa in the meantime, but I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with the system.

If the only path forward to keep it in 240v mode is to replace the motor with a 240v unit, I am not opposed to that. I would rather that, than to switch the electrical supply to 120v.

Thanks for any advice!
