They've got to attempt humorous commercials and tournament incentives because their product is junk and looks like a rain gutter on the back of your boat. They're far from junk. The new models are a far cry from earlier models. I'm extremely pleased with the two 12' models I have. And as far as a contingency program being a sign of "junk", then I assume that you are including the ever popular Power Pole-Captains Cash in that broad statement as well.

Nope. Just surprised it's taken MK this long to get it right. How do you lower the Talons to get under/into hard to reach places?

Tilt brackets? Automatic? They have made some good improvements.

Not automatic but extremely useful. I'll post a few pics of the new brackets and tilt assembly shortly.

They had tilt brackets first model out...it was an option.

Open your eyes & look within, are you satisfied with the life youre living.
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.

But, the $3k a pop is EXPENSIVE for the average angler. Well, I guess if you just popped $84k for a new Ranger and another $4k for electronics....maybe not so much..
but, for the rest of us, man, that's a lotta dough!

Haven't fallen out. If I do, I'll step on Talon bracket and climb right back in.

Thanks for the pics of the installation. I got my brackets (universal and tilt) at the end of last week. I'm going to try to go ahead and mount the universal bracket to the jackplate this week, so when the 12 footers get here it will (hopefully) be a quick install.

I think the accessories are worth more than the boat.
