Not shur on the x5 .but the minkota requires a 80 amp breaker. I kept triping my breaker when i ran on high or in the weeds found out i had to small of breakers after putting 80 on no more issues picked mine up at cabellas. depending on witch size motor you bought you might need a biger one as well
You run an 80lb thrust Minn Kota (24v)? A 60 amp breaker popping under normal use is not right. Minn Kota's 80# motors have a max amperage draw of 56 amps.
When you factor in heavy weeds building up on the lower unit/prop or prolonged run time at/above 85%, you will start to build resistance and heat that may pop the breaker, but that is what it is supposed to do so that it protects the motor. |
