Default RE: ESC keeps cutting out?

There are several possibilities:

- your motor/drivetrain does not run smooth enough after it's been submerged, causing too much drain on the esc and the current limiter cuts in.
- the batteries can't deliver the power and the current breaks down.
- your prop is too big/has too much pitch.
- the ESC has take damage as a result of having been submerged and cannot deliver full power under load.

I run two Jeti JES 350 ESC's in my mono1 and mono 2 boats, the mono 1 has a 600 motor, 7 GP3300 and a 36 or 37,5K prop, the mono 2 has a 700 Neodym, 12 GP3300 red and a 45K prop.
The JES 350 in the mono 2 has been watercooled, both ESC stay absolutely cool.
