Installing the Water Deflection Shield

The Water Deflection Shield is designed to prevent undesirable spray conditions while the boat is traveling over water. The Water
Deflection Shield is installed after the Talon is successfully installed on the boat. Each installation will be different and is dependent
upon the position of the Talon as it sits in the Mounting Bracket. The Water Deflection Shield is installed on the bottom side of the
Mounting Bracket as it is attached to the boat. The installation is designed to be adjustable to suit different angular positions.
