The circuit breaker will help protect your motor from electrical damage. <span class="a-text-bold">Is this motor waterproof?</span> - The head w/ handle is not waterproof. Light rain is fine but if there is heavy rain, it&#039;s submerged or sprayed directly with a hose, this will cause issues. <span class="a-text-bold">What gauge wire are the battery cables and how long are they?</span> - This motor comes with 4ft 8 AWG cables. <span class="a-text-bold">How long does this motor run for? </span>- This entirely depends on the battery capacity or Amperage Hour Rating (Ah) on the battery you are using. We recommend a 50Ah battery at minimum. This will power the motor for roughly 45mins at speed 5 continuously and 2.5hrs at speed 3. <span class="a-text-bold">Can the head be spun around for Bow Mounting? </span>- Yes! Please contact Newport Vessels for instructions on how to safely do this. <span class="a-text-bold">What if I have questions, a problem or need parts? </span>- Contact Newport Vessels!
