I have taken the prop off and cleaned it all out and it still does it. My old boat didn't have any of those breakers on the trolling motor positives that's why I didn't know if I needed them.
It is drawing too much amperage for that breaker.

1). Are the wires above the breaker also hot?
2). Do you have any corrosion on the wires at the battery. If this is 24v, what about the "series" wire that connects battery 1 to battery 2 Positive to Negative.

3). What about he trolling motor plug. How does the socket look.

Check all those. They are easy to confirm.....

Finally, simply replace the breaker.....they do go bad sometimes. They are less than 20 bucks to replace at any good marine shop. In the Lou Area, I suggest A2O over in Jeff.... .
