My Uncle has a Talon and I agree with the noise issue. He also had it go out after owning it for about 6 months. Took it to a dealer, the dealer tried to take it apart and started breaking bolt heads off, so he sent it to Minn Kota. They sent him back a brand new one. The dealer said he needed to take better care of it, like cleaning it after every use up inside where the spike retracts. Sounds like a PITA to me. Is all that necessary with the power pole? With the design, I can't see that it would be. Maybe grease the pivot points?
