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

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.

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!
