The thermal cutout circuit on the Speed Controller or the boat's
over current trip was activated due to extended high current draw.
The effect of either of these two protection circuits being activated is that power to the ESC
is first reduced and if the load is not lifted, then power is cut entirely.
It will take 10 - 12 sec for the current overload trip to reset however it could take up to 5 min
of cooling for the trip to stay up.
For the thermal cutout to reset can take more than 5 min of cooling.
Once either of these circuits have triggered it will be necessary to rearm the Auto Pilot to
regain control of the boat.
The boat does not need to be retrieved to rearm. Move the Sail Mode switch and the trim
control to Manual and wait 10 sec. This should re-arm the Auto Pilot
IMPORTANT: The original coordinates for the home position may be reset if the boat trips
out due to low battery power. To avoid current overload DO NOT RUN YOUR BATTERIES
FLAT. This means the RTL function will not work until the boat can be powered up again at
the launch point. You will need to sail the boat back to shore in manual mode.
