Port Side (left) or
Starboard (right) Mount
While Minn Kota recommends
installing your Talon on the port
side whenever possible, your
Talon is designed to mount on
either the port or starboard side
of the transom. You should
consider your fishing methods
when selecting the mounting
location. Mounting to the
appropriate side will provide the
best unobstructed range for
casting without having to cast
over the boat when anchored.

Placement of the Talon
Mounting Bracket
When mounting the Talon
mounting bracket directly to the
transom, Minn Kota suggests
installing the mounting bracket
in the highest possible location.
This will provide the most stable
support, and the greatest
amount of vertical and angular
adjustability. The bottom edge
of the Talon should never be less
than 4" above the bottom line of
the hull to prevent spray and drag
conditions. (Figure 4)
