Sent one of my two, 12' Talons back to the factory service center for the second time. Last spring it deployed all the way down and would not retract. They repaired under warranty. Worked fine for about 2-3 months, since then its been a sporadic episode of only deploying down to two lights, actually its only puts out about 6" of the second stage and it thinks its on the bottom. I've cleaned it, I've taken the top off and used a garden hose to spray it out, I have done the deep water rinse to it. Sometimes it will work fine 2-3 times on the lake, then it starts all over again. Now here is the kicker, If I lay it down with the tilt bracket, it will fully extend, every time. Damnedest thing I've ever seen. So MK said send it back, so we will see. It also seems like the motor is working harder to put it down then the other unit that has worked flawlessly since new. I guess we will see whey I get it back.
