Minn Kota Talon vs. Power Pole Video

I got to say i was sold on the talon then I seen this video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99t_gfJgEe8 and now I'm not sure on which one I wanna put on my boat Talon or Power Pole... Is there any type of Drive-off protection?
-
Both brands are durable without a doubt. It is amazing what they put those power poles through in that video. The Talon does have an alarm to notify you if it is in the down position when you start your engine.
From Minn Kota's website....
Deployment Notification Alarm
If you turn your engine on while Talon is deployed, a Deployment Notification Alarm alerts you that the anchor is down. The alarm comes standard, but you can choose whether or not to install it.

Nice... I will drop in and take a look... do u carry the mounting hardware to install to my jack plate?

Sorry, like Lawren's video link better, the boat has a Yamaha on it :P:P:P:P
-
Not even two Talons can stop the power of a Mercury ;)

Damn I was hoping you guys didn't catch on to that. :D

We don't have all the mounts in stock, but we will be able to get you the mount you need within a couple of weeks. When you come in just let us know the model of boat, jackplate, and engine so we can get you the right mount.

I saw the video of the power pole as well where they drag , kick , bend twist and beat the living crud out of it ....
i dont see , nore would i expect to ever see a talon handle those same tests ... look at the fortrex , aluminum frame , powerful , built to take a beating , but try and put it through a beating ....
you'll be buying all sorts of replacement plastic parts that broke on you ... i'd be skeptical this early on ....
-
What's your pricing for the 8ft?
-
I went on web it said $1400..... Do we get 10% off ?

woooowww thats terrible ! i'll be avoiding this one
icast awards seem to be handed out prematurely !
-
I was leaning towards the talon, but after seeing that video, I don't think I would take any chances on it. Looks like a power pole for my boat.
-
I would not let this video make or break my decision on the talon. It just seems too convenient that the talon would stop working for this test!!! I think someone at powerpole may be a bit sour now that they have some competetion!! I'm sure there will be other videos to follow...
-
If it's on the internet it must be true ?LOL But if even half of what was displayed is true, then you will see a ton of Talon's go up for sale in the fall of 2011. We must wait and see how the Talon's perform this season I can't afford either this year anyway Can't wait to hear about the reviews
-
did anyone bother to read some of the comments on that thread..........the Talon was not being deployed correcty......press the down button twice quickly not press and hold as it makes the deployment stutter.
The internet is all about research.......try it and see ....;);)
