Trolling Motor Problem
I replaced my 41 lb. thrust 12/ 24 v johnson trolling motor with a new
Minn Kota A T 65 24 volt 65 lb. thrust. It runs fine on low speed, but when I turn it up to max it blows the short stop circuit. the breaker is a 40 amp. do I need to go to a bigger amp or is something wired wrong?

Trolling Motor Problem
You need thicker wiring from the battery to the TM. A 65 lb should have #6
wiring Pos. and Neg. "BIG FISH 2006" wrote in message ... I replaced my 41 lb. thrust 12/ 24 v johnson trolling motor with a new Minn Kota A T 65 24 volt 65 lb. thrust.

Yep, you need heavier wiring. When you turn the speed up, the heavier draw is overheating the wires and blowing the circuit breaker. Replace it with # 6 wiring. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com
