Installing a circuit breaker
At Pro Controll, we recommend the use of an appropriate DC circuit breaker between your battery
and your Revolution motor. A circuit breaker is also a legal requirement in some jurisdictions. Visit
www.procontroll.com for more information on our Circuit Breaker by Pro Controll.
An internal combustion motor will stall if the propeller becomes jammed by weeds, shing line,
rocks or logs, or just hitting the bottom. However, DC electric motors can’t stall. If the propeller
is jammed, the motor will draw more power. It may even draw enough power to damage the
motor, controls, or power cables. A circuit breaker prevents this type of damage by cutting
power to the motor if the draw exceeds a certain amperage.
Motors with thrust ratings of 32 and 40 pounds should be protected by a 50-amp circuit breaker.
Motors with thrust ratings of 50 and 86 pounds should be protected by a 60-amp circuit breaker.
1. Mount the circuit breaker on your boat at a point less
than 1’(0.30m) from the battery.
2. Connect the positive lead from your Revolution
Trolling Motor to the“AUX”terminal on the circuit
breaker. (See diagram at right.)
3. Connect the positive lead from the battery to the
“BAT”terminal on the circuit breaker.
4. Connect the negative lead as normal.
