    Talon Paint

    I bought a 10ft talon in May of 2015. In September 2015 I had a paint peeling issue and minn Kota replaced the talon. I now have a new paint peeling issue on the replacement. I called minn Kota and they referred me to a local ASC. I contacted them and they told me to bring it in for them to look at and see what minn Kota may warranty or not. Anybody know what I can expect as far as warranty goes?

    Thanks!

    I've had mine done twice, first in 2014 with MK sending me replacement Talons and again in 2017. The ASC will replace the outter housing under warranty.

    Thanks. I went to the asc today. Gave him pictures of the problem and my original receipt. He is getting with Minn Kota and then will get back to me.

    In researching whether or not a Talon could be powder-coated/hydro-dipped, I came across this post. Both of my Talons have paint coming off the bottom. If for some reason, Minn-Kota won't help me out, has anyone ever done either to their Talon's?
