Sizing a circuit breaker

[rpf1e11]

Will a 30-amp circuit breaker be large enough to handle a trolling motor with 28 lbs. of thrust?

What is the amperage draw?

More importantly, you need to make sure the the breaker does not exceed the current capacity of the circuits.

Can you give more details?

It's an older model Minn Kota Model 65W transom mount w/28 #'s of thrust. I've looked at the manual and the motor itself but haven't been able to find any other info.
