I have it on soft bottom mode. And sometimes it beeps 4 times when retracting. Any thoughts ?

Does it do it no matter what mode it is in are just when it is in soft bottom.
Hmm off the top of my head I’m not sure.
Please check this and then let me know. It may be a power issue with a connection or battery.
Just checked it in the drive way in all modes and it worked fine. Battery hasn’t had any issues and checked the connection that goes straight to the Battery and is tight.
Mind does the same thing all the time. Have the time I got to push the up button 4 or 5 times to get them to come up
I have BT talons and I’ve noticed a series of beeps when it fully retracts. Doesn’t always happen but does on occasion. Never had a problem with them since new last year

Only time I get those beeps is when one is kind of stuck in the mud.

I had same thing happen last week. I think it was the soft bottom. Talon would not retract and got beeping. I used the remote at the dash and that did no good, so used the up/down switch on the Talons and that did no good. Finally went to front and used the floor remote and that worked. I'm assuming it was in soft mud.

Had it happen several times randomly today in softbottom mode! What the heck
I have a 2017 12’ talon on my Ranger and it also started the rapid 3x3 beep alarm when I would retract it...however it appeared to retract just fine (going all the way back in) and at the right speed (it didn’t appear slow). I also changed batteries in remotes and checked wiring, but still would get that alarm every time I would retract it.
Took into dealer who found a couple of loose screws inside that they said were triggering that alarm, even though the unit appeared to operate ok to me.
Recommend you deploy it dry all the way out on land, and check every screw inside the arm to ensure they are all tight.
I had my 2019 BT 12' Talon with the follow issues:
Power off, after trailering, power back on, the first blue depth light would be lit.
Would have to push the Down button on the Talon multiple time to get it to deploy.
Would retract is so the blue light was off.
Sometime when is would retract, I would get the multiple beeps after it was full retracted.
Launched the boat.
Start the motor and the alarm would sound and never go off.
Had to disconnect the Alarm wire coming from the Tach.
Took it in for service on 12/10/19 and waiting on the results. Guessing faulty main board?

I have noticed that if you are in a current or even a very strong wind, the Talon, for lack of a better word, gets wedged with pressure on it. The pressure seems to keep it from retracting and thus it beeps. I simple get on the trolling motor and move the boat forward and backwards then hit my foot switch. 99% of the time the Talon comes right up.
Called the service and he stated he still had the problem of the unit beeping after the unit has retracted. Replacing the main board and hoping that solves the problem.
I'll report beginning of next week if the problem has been resolved.

Finally got my Talon back. Frayed cable (Not even a year old?), and the magnet on top of the spike was rusted thus not connection to switch. Just tested and reinstalled it. He said he did not replace the main board.
