(3) Wire ties Illustration of parts Show illustration of main subassemblies; with numerical call out.
*Please Note: There are two mounting options: either direct-mount the Talon® bracket to the boat transom or mount the Talon® bracket to one of the optional accessory adapter plate(s). Your Talon® comes complete with the necessary hardware to mount directly to the transom/stern. If you are unable or choose not to drill completely through the transom, you will need to purchase (4) 5/16” lag bolts of the appropriate length. Use a x/x” drill bit when using lag bolts. We recommend that your Talon® be installed by a certified marine mechanic if using one of the optional accessory adapter plates. REQUIRED TOOL LIST • Drill • 5/16 Drill Bit • 1/2” & 9/16” sizes in Wrenches, Ratchet and Sockets • 3M Marine Adhesive Sealant 5200 (recommended) or Marine Grade Adhesive Sealant • (?Battery post size wrenches) • (? Wire ties for cable routing) • 4’ straight edge or level • Tape measure • (Verify tools and sizes for Jack Plate Mount(s)) Step 1: Determining a Mounting Location Your Talon® must have a clear unobstructed path to deploy. The Talon® transom bracket included with your unit will allow for ~xx” of clearance from the transom to the front edge of the deploying anchor (see illustration.) Note: The Talon® bracket can be mounted directly to the transom or to an adapter plate when direct transom mounting is not possible due to obstructions. Check to make sure that your proposed location will allow the anchor to deploy without hitting trim tabs, poling platforms, ladders, engine, or other obstructions. Note: When selecting the Talon® transom bracket mounting location, examine your boat to ensure that you will not drill into any obstructions and that the hardware will be accessible for assembly. Port Side (left) or Starboard (right) Mount • Your Talon® is designed to mount on either the port or starboard side of the transom. If you cast right-handed you may prefer to mount the Talon® on the starboard side, if left-handed mount the Talon® on the port side of the boat. 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® transom bracket • When mounting the Talon® transom bracket directly to the transom, we suggest mounting it in the highest possible location. This will provide the most stable support. Your anchor should not be mounted with the Talon® transom bracket less than 4” from the bottom of the transom (see illustration). The 4” minimum can be determined by running a straight edge directly along the bottom of the hull as shown. Trim Tab and Transom Review • The transom bracket included with your Talon® will allow for ~xx” of clearance from the transom to the front edge of the deploying anchor (see illustration.) • If your boat is equipped with xx” chord trim tabs (length measured front to back), the included Talon® transom bracket will clear your tabs when mounted at the lowest 4” height. Raising the Talon® transom bracket where possible, will also allow for additional clearance. Note: If the Talon® transom bracket included does not allow you to clear your trim tabs (or other obstructions) an additional accessory is available. See page XX for additional details on Spacer Bracket xxxxxxx. Engine Review • When selecting a mounting location make sure that no interference exists between the Talon® and your engine during normal operation. Once you have selected your mounting location, trim the engine to its lowest position and steer the engine fully to the side selected. Ensure there is at least 3” of clearance from the any point on the Talon®. • The transom bracket can be mounted at an angle if additional clearance is needed (see illustration). Poling Platform Review • There are many brands and types of poling platforms available. When choosing a mounting location make sure the platform will not interfere with operation of the Talon®. Reverse Angle Transom Review • Some boats may be manufactured with a “reverse-transom angle.” In these cases, the Talon® transom bracket may be mounted upside-down to provide additional clearance (see illustration). Step 2: Mounting the Talon® Transom Bracket If you have followed Step 1 carefully and you are mounting the transom bracket directly to the transom, you are now ready to drill holes and mount the Talon® bracket. Please make one final check to ensure that you have met the requirements for each review and that your drill locations will not encounter any obstructions (lines, hoses, gas tank, etc…). 1. Position the mounting bracket template in your selected location, tape it in place, and mark the mounting holes. 2. If using provided mounting hardware, use your 5/16” drill bit and carefully drill the marked holes ensuring the drill is perpendicular to the transom. If using lag screws, use your x/x” drill bit and carefully drill the marked holes ensuring the drill is perpendicular to the transom. (see illustration) 3. Apply a 1/8” bead of 3M 5200 Marine Adhesive Sealant around each of the (4) drilled holes; as well as the perimeter of the Mounting Bracket (staying ~½” from the outside edge-see illustration.) 4. Attach the Mounting Bracket to the Transom/Stern using the “Mounting Bracket to Transom Hardware” (J-N.) DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Step 3: Attaching the Talon® to the Transom Bracket Review procedure when test installing 1. Assemble the (2) Bracket Sliding Straps (E) using the “Mounting Bracket to Anchor” (E-H.) Do not fully tighten the hardware. The Anchor Assembly must be able to freely slide vertically on the Straps. (see parts list view on page xxx) 2. The Anchor Assembly has (2) vertical tracks on either side for vertical adjustment (see illustration). A Vertical Stop Adjustment Bolt is located on the starboard side of the Anchor Assembly track. Slightly loosen the bolt so that it may be easily adjusted once the Anchor Assembly is attached to the Mounting Bracket. Use a ½” wrench to tighten the Stop Adjustment Bolt. 3. Carefully lift the Anchor Assembly onto the Mounting bracket; aligning the tracks with the top of the Bracket Sliding Straps as shown. Slide the Anchor Assembly down the tracks until the Stop Adjustment Bolt comes in contact with the Mounting Bracket. Ensuring the Stop Adjustment Bolt is loose enough to slide freely; lower the Anchor Assembly to approximately 4” above the bottom of the hull. Temporarily tighten the Stop Adjustment Bolt. 4. The final adjustment can now be made to the Anchor Assembly. Place a straight edge along the bottom of the hull (as shown) and measure the distance to the bottom of the Anchor Assembly. Readjust the Stop Adjustment Nut and Anchor Assembly until this dimension is approximately 4 “. Note: This dimension can vary depending on boat type and hull design. Additional adjustments may need to be made after a trial run of the boat. 5. Tighten the (4) Mounting Bracket Hardware (E-H) securely. 6. Ensure the Stop Nut is tightened securely. Show illustration of back of transom with anchor Step 4: Connecting and Routing the Power Cable and Auto Alarm Wire Your Talon® comes with a X’ Power Cable (with a 30A in-line fuse) and an Auto-Alarm wire. These wires can be routed in many ways depending on your boat type and starting battery location. Take time to familiarize yourself with the shortest and cleanest route from the Talon® to your starting battery. We recommend routing the Power Cable along the Gas Outboard Wire and Cable Harness Assembly (see illustration). NOTE: Connecting the Auto-Alarm safety wire is optional. If connected, your Talon® will emit an alarm tone each time the ignition key is turned to the ON position to remind you that your Talon® is deployed. If the unit is stowed, no tone will be emitted. It is recommended the Talon® be connected to the starting battery through a battery selector/Perko-type switch. The battery selector switch disables power to the Talon® when the master switch is OFF. If you are not using a battery selector/Perko-type switch the Talon may be connected directly to the starting battery. Note that the Talon does draw a small amount of residual current from the battery even when not in use. If the boat will not used for more than 30 days, the power leads should be disconnected from the battery. 1. If connecting to a battery selector/Perko-type switch, turn switch/ power to the off position prior to connecting your Power Cable. 2. Inspect the selected wire routing carefully to ensure that there are no sharp edges, obstacles or obstructions that may damage the Power Cable. The Cable Harness Boot may have a wire tie or clamp that will need to be opened to allow the Power Cable to pass through. 3. Carefully route the Power Cable through the Cable Harness Boot to the battery compartment. Illustration
4. Carefully remove any slack in the Power Cable so that it routes cleanly along the Outboard Wire and Cable Harness. 5. Auto Alarm: If connecting, the user must install a wire from the switched side of the ignition power back to the anchor power cable. This wire should be no smaller than 18AWG. Cut off the sealed end of the green wire and splice the green wire to the user installed wire. Make sure to use adhesive filled heat shrink to waterproof this splice. Verify that approximately 12VDC is present at this splice when the key switch / ignition of the boat is in the ON position and that no voltage is present when the key switch / ignition of the boat is in the OFF position. 6. If not installing the Auto Alarm, leave the sealed end of the green wire as is. 7. Important: Carefully loosen the battery connection terminals (or battery selector switch connection points) and avoid short-circuiting across the battery posts (or battery selector switch connection points). Connect the white lead with red stripe of the Power Cable (with 30A in-line fuse) to the starting battery positive(+) (or battery selector switch positive). Connect the black lead of the Power Cable to the starting battery negative(-)(or battery selector switch negative). 8. NOTE: There may be other accessories or connections to the starting battery (battery selector switch). Make sure all connections are properly attached and secured. 9. Secure the Power Cable by using the enclosed wire ties. Excess wire can be stored inside the battery compartment. VERIFYING INSTALLATION 1. Carefully inspect the area around the Talon® for any obstructions that may interfere with deployment. (Your Talon® must be able to come in clean contact with the ground without hitting any obstructions.) 2. On the front panel of the Talon® are three (3) switches: an UP switch, a DOWN switch and a Rough Water switch. (see illustration) 3. If using a battery selector/Perko-type switch, turn the selector switch to the “on” position. 4. Standing clear of the Talon®, push the down switch. a. The Talon® Spike will begin to deploy. b. When the Spike comes in contact with the ground, the unit will automatically shut off. After the initial shut off, you will hear two (2) additional deploy cycles, each 2-seconds apart from the initial ground contact. c. The Front Panel will display approximately (1) LED light for each foot of Spike deployed. d. If the above steps were successful, push the up switch. The unit will fully retract to the stowed position. No LED lights will be displayed. e. If the above steps were not successful, please see the trouble shooting guide on pages xx, GETTING STARTED USING YOUR REMOTE Your Talon® comes direct from the factory with (2) remotes pre-programmed to your unit. Each remote includes an adjustable lanyard that may be attached to either end of the remote to suit your preference. The remote has two buttons; UP and DOWN. 1. To Deploy: Press the DOWN Button twice within ½ second. 2. To Stow: Press the UP Button Once. 3. To Stop: Press the UP button once or down button twice within ½ second. Your remotes use a CR2032 size lithium coin cell battery. See page xx for instruction on how to replace the battery.
Programming Your Remote Your Talon can store 10 total remote ID’s. To learn a new remote ID: 1) Stow the anchor if it is not already stowed. 2) Press and hold the up switch on the Talon. A solid tone will be heard. 3) While continuing to press the UP switch, press the UP button on the new remote one time. 4) A series of 3 beeps will be heard, indicating the new remote has been learned. 5) Release the UP switch on the Talon after the 3 beeps begin. To erase all stored remote IDs (this may require assistance from a second person): 1) Stow the anchor if it is not already stowed. 2) Disconnect the Power Cable white power lead from the battery. 2) Press and hold the up switch on the Talon. 3) While continuing to press the UP switch, reconnect the Power Cable white power lead to the battery. 4) A series of fast beeps will be heard and then a long steady tone. 5) Release the UP switch after the long steady tone has begun. The unit now has all remote IDs erased. USING YOUR TALON® Auto-Deploy/Stow Raising and lowering your Talon® can be controlled wirelessly from any position in the boat using your Remote. Two button presses (within ½ second) of the remote DOWN button automatically deploys the anchor. One button press of the remote UP button automatically raises the anchor to the stowed position. Talon shuts off automatically at the end of travel. There is no need to hold down on a switch or button. Auto-Drive Talon’s® revolutionary “Auto-Drive” feature stops your boat faster and more reliably than the competition. Two button presses (within ½ second) of the remote DOWN button not only deploys your anchor automatically, but Talon® actually drives the anchor in for you to ensure the anchor is seated. Talon’s® Auto-Drive Deploy shuts the anchor off when the Spike contacts the bottom. Auto-Drive waits two seconds then drives the Spike again; pauses two seconds and drives the Spike a third time. Whether drift fishing, or stationary on a school of fish, Auto-Drive makes sure you are anchored. No holding down a switch or button to reactivate the anchor. Depth Indication Talon® shows your deployed status of the anchor (not water depth) via the LED display on your Control Panel. High visibility LED’s display one light for each foot of depth from most anywhere in the boat. Know the immediate status of your anchor, or deploy the Talon® to a specific length for stopping during a drift. Wave Absorption Waves and active water conditions can make anchoring a challenge. Talon’s® built-in Wave Absorption gives you a free suspension; giving the system 6” of floating travel to help dampen wave action. Safety Clutch Your Talon has a built in safety clutch to protect the motor and system from damage…………………………………………….
Rough Water Mode A Rough Water Mode button is located on the Control Panel. This feature provides additional anchoring support when fishing rougher waters, such as a windy day. When the Rough Water Mode is in the ON position, an LED light will be displayed above the button. This feature works by repeating the deployment cycle during the DOWN sequence. Once Talon® completes the first initial three hits of Auto-Drive, it will wait ten seconds; complete an additional three hits; wait ten seconds, then complete three more hits (total 9 hits.) This feature will automatically shut off after 60 minutes from the time it was turned on. The Rough Water Mode button must be pushed again to turn the feature back on after this timeframe. Auto Alarm If installed, the Auto Alarm will emit a tone each time you turn the ignition key to the ON position if the anchor is not stowed. This alarm reminds you that your Talon® is still deployed. Taking off with the Talon® in the deployed position could cause damage to your system or boat which will not be covered by warranty. Removal and Storage If needed, your Talon can be easily removed from the Transom Bracket. To remove: 1. Disconnect Power Cables from the crank battery prior to starting. Ensure the Cable is disconnected and will not interfere with removal of the Anchor Assembly. If the Auto Alarm is being used, the user installed wire will have to be cut and re-spliced each time. Note: You may need to re-loosen the Outboard Cable and Wire Harness to pass the Power Cable and Fuse Assembly back through the boot.???? 2. Cut/Remove and Cut and remove wire ties holding the Power Cable. 3. Ensure the Power Cable is free and clear prior to removing the anchor. 4. Loosen the 4 Transom Bracket to Anchor Mounting Bolts; while carefully supporting the Anchor Assembly. 5. Slide the Anchor Assembly up until it clears the tracks. 6. Reconnect and tighten battery terminations. For storage……….
