MINN KOTA TALON Instructions D'installation page 8

INSTALLING THE TALON
4. Talon to Hull Clearance - The bottom edge of the Talon should never
be less than 4" above the hull directly below the Talon to prevent
spray and drag conditions.
5. Talon to Engine Clearance - When selecting a mounting location
make sure that no interference exists between the Talon and your
engine during normal operation. Once you have selected your
mounting location, trim the engine all the way up and all the way
down, and steer the engine fully to and away from the side selected.
Ensure there is a minimum of two to three inches of clearance from
any point on the Talon.

If these conditions are not met, please consider using a optional adapter plate. There are many adapter plates that allow for greater
adjustability of the mount and allow for greater clearances to operate the Talon. Please visit
more about selecting and installing an adapter plate.
Follow all instructions and heed all safety considerations. Minn Kota recommends having a second person help with installation.
Not following proper installation and rigging instructions may result in injury. Mounting the Talon too low can cause undue drag
from the Talon or Mounting Bracket when operating the boat. It is important to mount the Talon as recommended to avoid unsafe
driving conditions.

NOTICE: All bass boats should mount the Talon as flush

to mitigate spray while underway.
