Check the breaker at the battery. There is a small button that you push to reset it.

If the breaker is not tripped and it's 2 months old, take it back to the dealer.


At least my boat and truck are paid for, woo hoo!

The circuit breakers on my system automatically rest when they cool off. Most of the time they will trip due to a poor connection between them and the trolling motor. I would physically check each connection to be sure thay are good and tight. Because they read with a meter doesn't mean they are good under load.

Nothing at the dash. There should be a fuse in an inline fuse holder within a foot of the battery. If the fuse is good then you would be better off taking it to a lowe dealer. Where did you buy the boat??
