It might be your reset breaker has gotten weak and is popping.  You can jumper around it to see if it works correctly. 

Hopefully this will be helpful.

If you click on the BAC homepage link at this page’s upper right, log in there, then choose Coach Assist under the “Technical” tab, you will find a Glendinning reel document by scrolling down to “Misc”.  It is generally referencing products used on boats, but similar ones of that brand are common on Beavers.  It may provide some useful guidance, and you can also try calling the company, 1(843)399-6146 .

Good thinking Joel
Ours is weak as well but doesn’t blow the breaker yet.  When unspooling I carry the weight to minimize the strain on the motor,  same for returning it except I keep a clean cloth there for wiping it down as it is stored.
Hope this helps until repairs can be made.
