Check all your electrical connections from the battery(s) up. All should be shiney clean and tight. Pull you prop and check for line wrapped around the shaft. You might also try searching this forum: http://www.crappie.com/gr8vb3/forumdisplay.php?f=71
there might be a resetting circuit breaker on it that is getting hot and tripping
What size cicuit breaker are yall using on the Auto-Pilots. Mine has a 30 and I was told I need a 50. This 30 has worked fine for years.
It depends on the size of the motor. You must have a small motor for a 30 amp breaker. For example a 55 lb thrust Minnkota draws 42 amps when it is running wide open.
You might have the answer, Mine is a 55 lb thrustQuote:

I recently purchase a 55# thrust Minn Kota Auto Pilot. I hadn't put a circuit breaker or fuse in. How important is this technique?

Minn Kota Terrova or V2 Powerdrives in 12volt 55 lb thrust takes a 60 amp breaker. This is from Minn Kota. Minn Kota makes one. Put this in when someone runs a search later on. Also when wiring the boat they said to use 6 guage wire. Cabela's carries 6 guage wire.
