I was recently given a 8’ minn kota talon that someone had laying around because it was stuck in the down position and they had sold the boat it was mounted on. After hooking it up to a spare battery and 5 min of investigative work, the unit functions perfectly now, just a loose retaining pin on the spike.
Now my question to any of you talon owners/installers is, where can I get a standard factory mounting bracket for this thing other than directly through minn kota (they want a fortune for a simple aluminum U bracket)?
Anyone have one laying around from a broken unit, etc? any help would be great as I would love to get this thing mounted over the christmas holiday
