MINN KOTA TALON Instructions D'installation page 7

MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
Minn Kota recommends mounting the Talon directly to the transom of the boat with the Mounting Bracket. Your
Talon comes complete with all the necessary hardware to mount directly to the transom/stern. The Talon may
also be mounted using an optional adapter plate when direct transom mounting is not possible or desired due to
obstructions or irregular-shaped transoms. For more information on universal adapter brackets and other
Minn Kota® Talon accessories, please visit minnkota.johnsonoutdoors.com. When using an adapter bracket to
mount the Talon, please use the instructions included with the accessory.
In order to use the direct mount installation, the following conditions need to be met:
1. Unobstructed Mounting - When selecting the Talon Mounting Bracket mounting location, examine your boat to
ensure that you will not drill into any obstructions and that the hardware will be accessible for assembly.
2. Unobstructed Deployment and Retraction - Talon is designed to mount on either the port or starboard side of
the transom. Talon must have a clear, unobstructed path to deploy. Check to make sure that your proposed
location will allow the anchor to deploy and retract without hitting trim tabs, poling platforms, ladders, engine
or other obstructions. You should also consider your fishing methods when selecting the mounting location.
3. Transom to Talon Clearance - The Talon Mounting Bracket
included with your unit will allow for approximately 6" of clearance
from the transom to the front edge of the deploying anchor. When
mounting the Talon Mounting Bracket directly to the transom,
Minn Kota suggests installing the Mounting Bracket in the highest
possible location. This will provide the most clearance, and the
greatest amount of vertical and angular adjustability.
