Minn Kota Talon Issues (QUICK FIX)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июл 2021
- How to Maintain Your TALONS. Are your Talons making a squeaking or making any noise? In this video I show you how to properly clean out your Talons as directed by Minn Kota and FIX the NOISE issue.
*UPDATE* Well not one, but TWO Talons are in the shop. The second talon that we cleaned on video, only needed a quick wash and lube which fixed the noise, BUT as I was putting the cap back on the end of the Talon I noticed the cable was starting to fray and replacing that cable is a much larger job than I'm able to tackle so it went to the shop. The first one, as explained in the video, does have an issue and is in the shop as well. The mark that was seen in the center of the track is definitely the issue and from my understanding the pads that ride along that track are attached with a screw, which they believe backed out. I'll keep this video updated once they are fixed and back on the boat. They were dropped off last week and it takes around 3-4 weeks to get them back, so I am currently TALONLESS.
As always, thank you for your continued support. I appreciate you guys and gals!!

Thank you!!!! This vid was SUPER for me and my Talons I hope mine turn out as good as yours.
Appreciate you watching! 👊
Great tips brother. Talons are definitely in my plan to purchase
Thank you brother! 👊
That’s a nice rig TJ. Hope ya get things worked out. 👊
Thank you Dave! 👊
No boat yet but watching these will help when I do grab one ( apparently I have to remodel my kitchen first ) lol great vid man
Lol, I hear ya brother! Appreciate you watching! 👊
thank you for this info bought a talon because of you just 1 but learned a lot how to clean my talon thanks again
My pleasure buddy! 👊
Love your stuff, James, but I have no boat. Just wanted you to know I stopped by and clicked the thumbs up 👍
Much appreciated Shannon! 👊💪
Good vid TJ this is why I went with power poles for down here I felt the power poles are better for me ! hope they are working better for you
Thank you brother! I would of stuck with power poles if there was room for the pumps. Hopefully this is not a reoccurring issue... we'll see.
@@TackleJunky81 yes I know pumps are a problem
Just got my Raptors installed this past week so far so good. Getting them on the lake this weekend hopefully as long as the weather cooperates.
Good deal man! 👊💪
Yep had screws on the guide pads back out on me twice under warranty causing the scraping noise. Second fix seemed to work as they haven't backed out again over the last 4 years or so....I told em put some loctite on those things! Not sure if they did. Now I have to replace the spike piston because the magnets on the top of it rust out in saltwater....2nd time for that. I'm learning to repair it myself and from now on will pull the cover once in a while to clean and put some rust preventative on those magnets. When they fall out only the sensor bracket at the top stops it and you get an alarm. Then eventually the retract cable will break.
Why I’m getting the Raptors when I purchase swallow water anchors! Good video bro 😎
Good call man! I would of stuck with power poles if there was room for the pumps.
I think you could take that apart pretty easy. Can't wait to see what it is.
Apparently a screw did back out from the pad that rides in the track and it's scrapping the inside of the frame. Both talons are in the shop...I noticed on the other one the cable was fraying. Good thing they are under warranty.
@@TackleJunky81 Heck yeah good thing!
Good day sir, new to the channel and so far enjoying the content you have put up, very informative. On the subject of your talons, and I apologize if I missed that update--did you ever get them back? How are they working for you now (assuming you still have them)?
ruclips.net/video/lOUf0Pljnb0/видео.html
Appreciate you checking out the channel. They are working great now which you'll see in the above video. A few screws had backed out.
Nice video. I need this.
👊💪
Good info 👍
Thank you Steve!
Well I think your right a small rock or something it caught in there. It would bug the crap out if me and I'd take it apart but being new you probably have to let them do it. But at least they smell good until you figure it out. Maybe pledge will be a good attractant and you'll catch some toads? Cool vid 😎👌
I have an update in the description of this video, but long story short the pad that rides in the track is attached with a screw and apparently it did back out and is scrapping the inside of the housing. I noticed on the other one that the cable is fraying, so both of them are in the shop at the moment, lol
@@TackleJunky81 opps just got home and didn't read it. Just watched. Still cool you know what it is and it will get fixed.
Do you or any viewer know the best way to get the Talon “spike” unstuck from the mud?
I have a 12ft Talon on the rear of my Tritoon and while at the sandbar last year the Spike was entirely drove all the way into the mud lake bottom. I did eventually get it unstuck by pressing the up/down button but I was really worried about breaking something!
I have hear a few people with Power Poles say they they put the engine in fwd/rvrs to gently rock the boat back & forth to get it free. Is that the best way to go with a Talon??
Other than that one little issue I love the Talon. I’m going to add another to the from of my boat soon because my Tritoon is SOooo heavy and putting one on the from will prevent the boat from swinging around in rough wakes.
I’m an 100% guessing but I bet if you took your Talon off the boat and flipped it upside down I bet the debris will fall out through the top. I know that would be a pain to do tho. Lol
Anyway Thanks Bro 😎

If you know you're fishing a soft bottom you can change the mode so it doesn't drive as far.
#1 issue with talons is the noise. Hopefully comes back as good as new. Id like to get powerpoles but no rush. Might need a new ram soon, 🤙🏻
Hopefully this isn't a reoccurring issue, but we'll find out. Appreciate you watching brother! 👊
Sorry to hear, hopefully you’ll get them back soon. Don’t own any talons so hopefully not a common problem. Still have your old anchor? Still think they were better going with then spotlock!
I sold my power pole with my bass tracker. I may of stuck with power poles if there was room for the pumps. For shallow water fishing anchors like power poles or talons is definitely the way to go. If I fished deeper then I would of went with a spot lock trolling motor.
Marine Dry Lube works great 👍!
Appreciate the heads up! 👊💪
That sucks you still had to take them to the shop. Hopefully they come back good as new.
Yeah, it really does suck. I'll update you guys as soon as I get them back. Appreciate you watching brother! 👊
What was the issue with the trolling motor might I ask, have the same one & also sitting here contemplating buying 15’ talons or 12’ 🙇🏼♂️
The only issue with the trolling motor was the plastic around one of the mounting screws broke, so I couldn't secure the foot pedal. I took it to a shop and long story short they had no idea what they were doing and jacked it all up, so minn kota sent out a new replacement trolling motor. The issue with the talons was the screws did back out and the shop that I went to said minn kota doesn't always loctite them and mine weren't, so they replaced the screws, added loctite and also my cables started fraying, so they replaced them as well. No more issues...love my talons!
@@TackleJunky81 would you say 12’ is an ok length to go with? I’m mostly bass fishing in less than 10’ but I know they have to go into the ground yet especially if the soil is soft bottom
@ 715 Outdoor like you said they may be a bit short in some areas, but should be good for the most part I'd think fishing shallow. I run 10' and rarely need anything longer.
So after you spray the pledge on, you don't wipe it off?
No sir.
I pushed a rag with some pledge up into that rubber gasket. It seemed to work. No more noise
Right on! 👊
Hey TJ, what size Talons are you running? Thanks
10'
How are you liking them? I know you had power poles on the Tracker before. Do you have a preference between them? Thanks
@@bassaddict_85 Love them. I was going to run power poles on this rig as well, but didn't have the space for pumps. That's one benefit to running talons. Also I like that you can lay them down with the tilt brackets. I plan to make a video on this topic.
@@TackleJunky81 great thank you so much for your input. I have a similar boat to yours just a different manufacturer and I don’t have a lot of room for pumps and stuff so sounds like Talons would be the better option. Thanks again appreciate your time
You should probably spray a little white lithium grease on the third track as a last option.
Apparently the pads that ride in the tracks are attached with a screw that did back out and is scrapping the inside of the housing. Had to take them to a shop for warranty repair.
appreciate
👊💪
Hopefully you find out what it is that's scraping and it dosent ruin the unit. I'm sure those a pretty pricey. 👍🏻
Apparently the pads that ride in the tracks are attached with a screw which they are saying did back out and is scrapping the inside of the housing. Under warranty and is in the shop. I'll keep you guys updated. Appreciate you watching! 👊
@@TackleJunky81 that stinks. I guess it's good and bad news. Hope you get it back soon
Always cheaper to do it yourself 🏆💪👊
Luckily they have a 5 year warranty. Appreciate you watching buddy! 👊
My talon has the exact same issue... definitely a screw that broke our backed out... i see an empty hole. I may try taking it apart on my own but im nervous. a minn kota tech i talked to said they are way harder to work on than a trolling motor... lol
I took mine in and the screws did back out. From what I heard it's a pretty big job.
I actually took it apart managed to fix it. Was a screw for sure

I've heard you have to really make sure the talons are clean and free of dirt.
Definitely. Appreciate you watching brother! 👊
@@TackleJunky81 I watch almost all your videos even ones that dont pertain to me. I dont have talons or any shallow water anchors. I fish mainly deep reservoirs.
@@joshholt1513 I truly appreciate that brother! 🙏👊
Sounds like metal on metal scraping to me or a pebble
They are saying a screw backed out of the pad that rides in the track and is scrapping the inside of the housing. In the shop for warranty repair.
No boat
Appreciate you checking out the video though.
Sounds like the garage door opening or closing! Lol
Lol, no joke! Just got them back from the shop. I'll go over what was wrong in another video.
It's the cable inside that is overlapping incorrectly.
Turtle Wax liquid Black Ice car polish
👊💪
So literally the entire video is of him opening and closing with a quick wash with soap and water
Don't forget the pledge.
