    Update on talons

    I talked to someone at MK Thursday she said my talon is on the way back to me. I asked what they did ,it was a list new motor /new motherboard 2nd time/new outer shell/ new decals/ and about a dozen new parts inside. so MAYBE this will be the fix. I am going to give them 1 more try. I do hope they work this time.

    Motherboard was bad from since new. I took it to 1 of their service centers stayed 5 weeks came back scratched all over. But it worked (2 days) then a complete brake down NOTHING . I sent it to Minn Kota . I did get it back yesterday looks new and works while setting in my man cave. They sent a letter with the problems said most of the problems seems to be caused by the service guy that worked on it something was installed backwards are upside down. but going to the lake Thursday. I am thinking since MK did the work this time it will be OK

    Seems strange? I had one with bad motherboard last year and took it to authorized service station. They sent it back to MK after not being able to fix it and I was sent a brand new unit.

    Maybe that "authorized service center" shouldn't be authorized?
