And not in a good way. The cable on my Talon broke a long time ago and I'm finally getting around to "trying" to fix it!

Talk about a birds nest!
Anyone do one of these before?
Just got started, if you do one, don't loose the little buttons here when you take the side cover off.
Hey! I have a couple of reels that look like that.
Kinda complex, but relatively easy, there's a good youtube video detailing it here:

Turns out I'm missing some circlips so I got them coming tomorrow before I can put it all back together.

Just have some rivets to re-install, and wrap the drum. That's supposed to be the hardest part. Wish me luck.
Ok, I wish you luck. :cheers2
What caused it to do that? I've thought about replacing my powerpole for one of those but not if it's gonna be trouble....:dono
My fault. Idiot me left it in the down position while up in the air in the boat house, and I put the boat down. Snap!Quote:

Yep, you know me very well, I always have extra parts when I get done with a project. I have an associates degree in engineering, so I know way better than those idiots that design this stuff. Half those parts are completely unnecessary. I know this for fact, cause some of the stuff I fix, actually still works (for the most part)! :donoQuote:

I got the circlips, and proceeded to wind the drum. But it seems the cable slipped one of the many pullies. I can't retract the dern thing by hand. Cable is all loose except in the middle section. I had the cable slip a pully earlier, but that was one of the visible pullies. When it comes off the pully it jams into the side of it. Terrible design. Needs less parts! There are three interior pullies, which means I gotta take the dern thing all apart again. Which also means, I'm done for the day. Bankers hours you know.
Sometimes the best thing you can do is sit down and sip a cold beverage of your choice….just sayin’.:cheers2

I almost bought a boat with a pair of those on it. Glad it didn’t happen.
That looks more complicated than I imagined but designers say it looks good on paper.

So the talons were deployed while it was on a boat lift and "someone " lowered it onto the talons ?
..forgive me for asking .....just trying to decide if it was something I would likely do myself as well ....:Rofl

Just ordered timing belt and water pump kit for my 4 runner.
I would rather work on the talon. Lol

LOL, Right about now, I'd rather work, if you could call it that, on catching some dinner with fin's and scales...Quote:

Take it apart, put it together, springs bouncing all over, too much tension, fingers not small enough to grab cable, dont have 3 hands, wow, worked on it all morning, but finally got'r done. Just have to do the rivets and the reattach covers. That's stuff is easy, but I just had to get it together and make it work, cause otherwise it was gonna become crappie cover! lol

You can see above where the cable slipped off the pully.
