    Default Minn Kota Edge 70 Stops Running on High


    I have a Edge 70 24V Yesterday i was running it on high and it would stop let it sit a min and it would start back running. Only does this on High. Would this be the circuit breaker or something in the Tmotor. Cub48

    Sounds like you have a self resetting circuit breaker popping. It should be at least 50 amp.

    What gauge wire is running through the boat. My kota does the same thing because I have ten gauge wire on it along with a 50 amp breaker. I have the six gauge wire to pull as it states in the directions to use, but still have to run the new wire. I new others with same issues as we have and ran the new six gauge wire and the problem went away. You will notice the hotter it gets the less you can run on high and the colder it is outside you can run longer due to the wire heating every thing up.
