My Minn Kota Terrova 12v wasn’t quite up to moving my 24-foot tritoon adequately, and it would heat up and flip the breaker I had put into the line if I ran it above 7 or ran it too long.
So I got a 24v Terrova, which certainly has the power I’m looking for, but it has the same problem of flipping the breaker after only 5 or 10 minutes of trolling.
Anybody else have the same problem with either of these units? What’s the deal? Is the wiring insufficient? What size breaker should I have?
The minnekota websites says 56 amps so a 60amp breaker i would imagine. They do say not to run over 8.5 settings if you are using a lithium battery. You may have to clean your connections a little bit.
Also check the plug and plug receptacle. I was having trouble with my trolling motor only to find out when the previous owner upgraded to an ultrex he did not upgrade the plug and receptacle.
Thanks, guys! I gotta check what amp breaker was put in previously…..
