    Garmin Force TM

    I have a trolling motor question. My Garmin Force is running on 24 volts. It runs great under 50% if you turn it above 50% it shuts off. New Batteries, latest update installed. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    It says 114 amp hours per battery on label. That is quite a bit above what’s called for I think isn’t it? (Lead acid)

    What do you have for wire and breaker size for this setup?

    Lead-Acid/AGM batteries?
    Auto-resetting breaker?

    I agree. Sounds like a wiring/breaker issue. Be careful. If the breaker was sized based on the wiring, only replacing the breaker could be dangerous. You may need to replace the wiring and breaker.
    My wife asks if I'm going to fish every day. I can't fish every day. Some days I might be sick.

    I’ll have to look, I bought the boat used he mentioned no issues. All I did was updates and new batteries. I assume it’s 6ga wire but not sure. I did talk to a dealer and he mentioned the auto reset breakers. Thanks for info I’ll look this weekend and get back.
