Can Minn Kota Talons 1/2 stow for quick moving from close spot to close spot?

Would like to get a new boat in a few years and would like to put Minn Kota Talons on it. I watched their video and read their website and didn't see this answered so I'm hoping someone who has experience with them will know the answer to this question. I like to fish dock to dock in shallow water usually ranging from 2-4 feet. Was wondering if Talons once deployed could be brought back up (stowed) at the 1/2 way mark vs. fully stowed so that you could move down 40 feet to the next dock and then deploy them again. By only doing a 1/2 stow you'd save energy and time by not having the Talon fully stow and deploy from each fishing location. 

 

I have an Ulterra now that I love but sometimes the wind is too much which makes it hard to control your boat, hard to keep on one spot, and if it's going at the wrong angles can blow you into shore or out which makes harder, a direct in your face wind is easier but rare. Plus, you use a lot of battery power fighting the wind. 

 

So, can the Minn Kota Talons only 1/2 stow so that you can more quickly deploy them at the next spot and save battery power?

No, Talons cannot half stow.

in shallow water there is really no difference. from half way to full up or down is like an extra second or two. don't think it's going to save much battery power. I have only one Talon and I fish docks without any problems.
