    Talon Operation

    Just bought a new boat with 10ft Talons. The talons came with 4 remotes. It appears that 2 remotes work one, and 2 work the other one. How do I get one remote to operate both at the same time. Also how do I know if the talons I have are bluetooth.

    Thanks in advance

    You need to syn the remotes

    Do your talons have the deck light on them? I believe those that did were the first of the blue tooth ones.

    If it is a 19 model it is Bluetooth. If you look on the serial number tag located just below the black housing it will say on the tag.

    Also make sure you have the latest firmware. Instructions on MInnkota's web site. Also only use two (2) remotes and save the other two for backup.
    I had the same problems until I updated them.
