My TM apparently over heats or drewas too much power when I put it on five and use for more than a few seconds. It trips the breaker at the battery. Any ideas? Thanks

he's right breakers weaken each time they trip.
Most 24V motorguides specify 40 amp; 12V spec is 50 amp. I use 40 on my 12V never tripped it.
Check your propshaft for fishing line. I mean take the prop off and check up under there.
how old is it?

how old is it? Absolutely...evry so often take the prop off, check for line or old grass. Also check the pin ; if it is bent the prop will be out of balance.
