12 About Circuit breaker
During the usage of the electric outboard motor, the propeller can some-
times get stuck in weeds, shing lines, or shing nets. Sometimes, due
to the variance of the water depth, the propeller can become covered in
silt. If those situations occur, quickly disconnect the battery and clean
the propeller. (Please DO NOT increase the thrust of electric outboard
motor to solve the problem, or it may cause permanent damage to the
electric outboard motor.)
The characteristics between the electric outboard motor and gasoline
outboard motor are dierent. If the propeller of the motor gets stuck,
the gasoline outboard motor will shut down to not cause any permanent
damage to the motor itself. However, the electric outboard will draw
extremely large current due to the motor stall and can generate large
amounts of heat that can damage important components in the motor
such as switch, rotor and other connecting parts or even cause serious
battery explosions.
In some muddy water areas, it can be hard for the user to recognize
that the motor is stalled. To prevent these situations from occurring, it
is strongly recommended to use circuit breaker to protect the electric
outboard motor. If the current draw of the electric outboard motor ex-
ceeds the limit of normal usage, the circuit breaker will cut o the power
automatically to prevent any possible damage to the electric outboard
