Looking good. I thought I heard that you only need one due to the design compared to the optimal 2 for the Power Poles as they hold better?

The issue with one is not the holding power. The issue is boat spin in the wind….

Has this boat w the Talons been ran any rough water( 20-25mph winds ) yet , just wandering -not trying to stir the pot at all. Great set-up for the Talon ,easy install and looks great and very quiet also .

FTDoo7The Talon was run originally on Lake of the Ozarks for the original testing. They spent plenty of time on that reservoir with the set up and there are none worse than Lake of the Ozarks in the spring. We are not sure what the issue is on the Talon your friend had installed, though we are aware that you have seen loosening of the bolts.

Too bad that Power Pole or MK cant make something like that, which isnt so dang tall. Youd have to take it off to get it in most garages. I know the Power Pole has to can be lowered to get it to fit in a standard garage. Some day someone will make something like that which will be a more reasonable height.

Are the brackets mounted between the motor and jackplate?

Not for me. Those things are ugly IMO. Guess they serve a purpose.

If you think Spring is bad, come on back after Memorial Day thru Labor Day…
