I have no jack plate on my bay boat. Do I have to pull the bolts out that hold the motor onto the boat to install the sandwich bracket? I guess the motor swivels , but I would think this would cause the motor to be misaligned to the boat. Help put my worries at ease please. Are there any videos i can see where thia is done?I want to pull the trigger bad on either a PP or Talon soon. Thanks

Have a ZX 225 and was wondering approximate height of Talon while boat is on the trailer? My shop doors are just under 8 foot and am afraid it won't fit

They make a fold down bracket that attaches to jack plate adapter.

Installed dual Talons on my Skeeter 21i this weekend. Easy project and no hangups. The most difficult part was trying to find a hot ignition wire so I could hook up the alarm that sounds if you start the big motor and the poles are down.

That new bracket is a beast and is rock solid.

My footswitch should be in on Wednesday.

For reference, the top of these are 81 inches off the floor; and 37 inches from the top cap at the transom to the top of the Talons. I will have to raise them about three inches when I get to the lake to get them the recommended 4-inches above the bottom of the boat (on the chine they are nearest to). I will adjust them back and forth to get through my garage doors. Takes about 2 minutes with a 1/2-inch wrench.

MinnKota Talon Tilt Brackets allow the Talons to be folded over to get thru low clearances

I can't help but to say those things sure look wierd on the back of a boat. Functional no doubt, but wierd looking for sure. Every time I see one going down the road i catch myself thinking "where's the black smoke" like a diesel.


At least my boat and truck are paid for, woo hoo!
