INSTALLING THE TALON
i. Next, note the position of the nuts, washers and
screws holding the Mounting Strap in place. The Hex
Head Cap Screws pass from the inside to the outside
of the bracket. They first pass through the Mounting
Strap, then a Guard Washer, then the Mounting
Bracket. On the outside of the bracket, the screw
first holds a Flat Washer and then a Lock Washer
before being secured with a Nylock Nut.
j. After the appropriate Nylock Nut has been loosened,
locate the Nylock Nut opposite of the loosened one
on the Mounting Strap and remove it.
k. Adjust the Mounting Straps so that they are as
perpendicular to the waterline as possible.

was removed by selecting one of the five Angular
Adjustment Holes that will support the Mounting
Strap at the most perpendicular position.
m. To replace the bolts, pass them from the inside to
the outside, through the Mounting Strap, then the
Guard Washer, then the Mounting Bracket, a Flat
Washer and Lock Washer. Then loosely secure with
a Nylock Nut. The nuts will be fully secured later in
the installation.
