trolling motor issue
 
I have a 24v motorguide great white trolling motor, that I converted
last fall to the digital series. I have an inline auto reset circuit
breaker connected to the pos cable near battery. hen I run the motor
on med to high the motor cuts out and comes back on in a few seconds.
Any ideas? Could I have a bad connection or bad breaker that get too
much heat that triggers the breaker?

Thanks!

It's probably overheating due to wiring being undersized, I had the same
problem. I changed out my wiring to soft #6 wiring and there's never been
another issue. My batteries last a lot longer between charges also.

I would definitely upgrade your wiring if its not already #6 or larger.
Also, its not un common for those autoreset circuit breakers to go bad.
