Second if you have Spot-Lock on your trolling motor you can probably get by with one Talon. With a power pole you do have to think about hydraulics hoses seals motor etc.

I know that once you get a lot of hours on anything relating to hydraulics you end up having to replace seals and can have leakage for various reasons. The talons sealed motor is out of the water completely and maintenance on this is almost nonexistent. I am trying to make a good decision on which technology to go with Shallow water anchor or Trolling GPS.

I have narrowed it to Talons over Powerpole and Minn Kota Ipilot over Motor Guide XI5. A set of talons would be around 3500 and the Minn Kota. Noise comparaison of the two best shallow eater anchor.

Talon that I should have discussed further. When the Power Poles are deployed the part of the pole in the water is about 4-5 ft out from the corner of the boat worst case. Best case is about equal to.

Some may wounder if Minn kota already has the talon why the need for another shallow water anchor that seem to be a copy of the power pole.

Power Pole will run you closer to 2700. Minn Kota Talon VS Power pole Posted by OhFace55 on 12212 at 301 pm to Boats n Hose I have the talon. The cable system of the talon is great because even if the talon gets stuck in lowered position you can use a wrench and crank it back up.

I am trying to make a decision on which shallow water anchor to get. I have a 2008 Tracker 175TXW. I am leaning towards the Minn Kota.

Besides the obvious electric v hydraulic which is better the Minn Kota Talon or the Power Pole. It seems the Minn Kota is easier to install and has a cheaper pr. If your talon does get stuck there is a nut you can turn to manually bring it up.

If the cable broke it may not do that either though. With the talon there is no hydraulic pump its all electric. With the power pole if it does get stuck down you can always cut the line and push it up and tie it but oil would go everywhere.

If you think you might want the humminbird 360 i believe the only way. A 12 Talon adds 47 lbs a 10 Talon adds 42 lbs a 10 PP Blade adds 375 lbs a 8 PP Blade adds 309 lbs. I think the total difference with brackets pumps oil etc was 37 lbs more total for my 12 Talons over 10 blades.

I chose Talons and lost 14 mph. Lets take a look at a few things that are new and innovative about the Minn Kota Talon.
