INSTALLING THE TALON
e. Take each of the four 3-1/2" Stainless Steel Bolts
(Item #2) and place one Flat Washer (Item #4) on
them. Place one Bolt in each of the Mounting Holes
so that is passes through the Mounting Bracket and
the drilled holes on the transom of the boat.
f. Place a Fender Washer (Item #6) on the end of each
Bolt on the inside of the Transom and then securing
each with a Nylock Nut (Item #8). Tighten the bolts
with a 1/2" Box End or Socket Wrench. Do not over-
tighten.

NOTICE:
Applying an anti-seize may help prevent
seizing.
g. Once the Mounting Bracket is secured, note the
Mounting Straps located on the inside of the
Mounting Bracket. The Mounting Straps need
to be adjusted so that they are as perpendicular
as possible to the waterline. The five Angular
Adjustment Holes located on one end of the
Mounting Straps allows for 25 degrees of motion
to accommodate the variability of different transom
styles.
h. If the Mounting Straps are not perpendicular,
use a 9/16" Box End or Socket Wrench to adjust
the Nylock Nuts. The Bolt that passes through
the Mounting Strap, opposite from the Angular
Adjustment Holes should be loosened, but not
removed.
