Achour will not come up

Possible reasons for the Bell Marine S Series anchor not coming up include:

1. The winch installation is not aligned properly with the bow sprit or is not square to it.
2. Rope and/or chain jams on the baseplate due to:
- Using a non-factory rope/chain kit with too much rope on the drum.
- Creating a loose line effect by driving too far forward when retrieving the anchor.
3. The anchor may not fall correctly due to lack of gravity force when the anchor is up in the bow sprit, which may require a replacement bow roller/sprit or lowering the front roller.

The Bell Marine Viper S Series motor may get hot and trip the breaker switch if water enters the electric motor. The manual states that every Viper winch motor is pressure tested and sealed at the factory to prevent water ingress. If water enters the motor, it could cause overheating, leading to the breaker switch tripping as a safety measure.
