[QUOTE="yankyfan100, post: 139897, member: 1683"] I upgraded from my 12 foot jon to a 1432 semi v. First time out today and the connections from the battery to the motor are getting VERY hot. So hot that the rubber on them started melting. I thought it might be the circuit breaker but i took that out and it still got hot. The motor is a 45lb thrust varimax. The heat problem happens when im at full throttle, but the connection is only warmish-cool on half throttle. Do you think the motor is not powerful enough for the boat and is causing the heat issues?
