minnkota power issue

I have a maxxum 65 and its having an issue of shutting off. Ive replaced the drive unit and reastat in the past year or 2. Whats happening is that I run on constant to fish the points and dams and everything is going fine then I here a clunk and it shuts off turn the reastat to 0 and back on and it normally kicks back on. On the fourth we were doing good and it shut off and wouldnt come back on. Well that ended the day, not to mention it was hot but this has happend when it was cold out also. This is the first time it wouldnt turn back on. I didnt mess with it cause it was so hot that my chickens were laying hardboiled eggs. So I go out yesterday and tried it and it works. Has anybody had this issue before if so could i get some input. Thanks

Do you have a self resetting breaker on the end of the wires at the battery? I would check that first. It sounds like its getting to hot and kicking the breaker. The amount of time it take you until you turn it back on cools it down enough to not pop the breaker right away again.

Just my .02 worth that I have seen so far!

Are you talking about the black wire coming off the ground with the black bulb looking thing if so it is sealed can this be replaced it is 24volt. thanks

There are several different styles of breakers but this is a common style.

thanks
