INSTALLING THE TALON
Installing the Talon
a. Review the Mounting Considerations to determine
if it is acceptable to complete a direct mount of the
Talon Mounting Bracket. If acceptable, position the
Mounting Bracket (Item #D) at the selected location
and mark the Mounting Holes with a pencil or similar
marking tool. Any of the eight Mounting Holes can
be used with at least one bolt in each corner of the
bracket, or 2 on each side.
b. Double check that the mounting location is clear to
drill holes and then use a Drill with a 5/16" Drill Bit
to drill through the Transom/Stern of the boat on the
marked locations.
c. Place a 1/8" bead of Marine Grade Sealant on the
Transom of the boat around the drilled holes.
d. Place the Marine Grade Sealant on the face of
the Mounting Bracket that will contact the boat
Transom/Stern when mounted. Keep the sealant
approximately centered between the outside edge of
the Mounting Bracket and the Mounting Holes. Once
the sealant is in place, align the Mounting Bracket
in the desired orientation with the holes that were
drilled in the Transom/Stern.

NOTICE:
When drilling the marked holes, make
sure that the drill bit is perpendicular to the
Transom/Stern of the boat and that the holes are
being drilled straight. Not drilling the holes straight
will give the mounting hardware a poor fit.
