    Minn Kota Talon Issue

    Recently ran into my first problem with one of my 12’ Talons... Ended up being an easy fix so I figured I would do a video in case anybody runs into the same problem!

    Good Video. This is not a common problem, but it is another thing to look at if you can not figure out why it will not deploy. Recently fixed a Talon that would not deploy because the third stage wiper plate was damaged and cause the third stage to hang up. In you clean and lube video please mention that it is recommended to use Pledge spray furniture wax to lube the channels after cleaning.

    no prob, thanks for watching!...I’m honestly not sure, it must do something to keep everything aligned properly, that was just the first thing I noticed that looked out of place when I took the top cap off, thankfully an easy fix!
