How about the 00801-0673 F-P (the 2011 KOP FP motor)? does it have an internal breaker? I remember the 2010 KOP FP motor did because we had some problems with our winch tripping the breaker (I was with 2849 that year). But I have no idea about the 2011 one. I only have two by accident and when the I got scared about using the BB motors in my drive, I switched over to these that happened to buy on a lark from AM in the fall.
