breaker kicking out?? maybe too small? just musing about what could cause it.
Couple of questions that might help.
What speed you running when it happens?
Anything different going on when it happens moving pedal, rough water?
How often does it happen?
Are you running it on Autopilot when it happens?
usually running .8 to 1 mph or between 3 and 4 on the dial, it happen about 4 to 5 times in a row this morning and then it ran for 3 to 4 hrs it doesn't matter what water conditions it is a 24 volt motor and just changed batteries out and replaced them with 2 1000 cold cranking amp batteries wired in series and the autopilot is on when it happens just wondering if may need larger breaker just wondering what u guys think
What size breaker you have? Should be at least a 50 amp but actually calls for a 60. Does it have Ipilot? Could be losing GPS signal.
Hello: My buddy had a similar problem. We found a loose wire on the plug-in connection. When you are running the trolling motor wiggle and shake the cord and plug and see if it shuts off on you. Hopefully it will be an easy fix. Good Luck. O - R
what type batteries are you using ???Quote:
