I have put a voltage meter to the batteries, and all the way to the motor while it was turned on and off. It never loses 24 volts.

What size amp rating is the new breaker? I am not sure what size it should be but maybe you need a higher rated circuit breaker.

When you said that it stops, does it start going again after 10 or 15 seconds? If so, have you tried to run the trolling motor on say 50 or 60 % to see if it keeps running without triping? My trolling motor [12 volt] circuit breaker was doing this and a new CB fixed the problem.
