    Talon Jackplate mount

    I'm sure this has been asked before but I just sold my boat which used the sandwich style mount and I kept my Talon. I ordered a new boat that is coming with a manual jackplate, I believe it will be a slide master. My question is can I just buy the piece that bolts to the Jackplate or do I need to buy a whole new mounting bracket. I personally feel that minn kota should offer just the piece you need to change being that it is the only difference rather than being forced to spend an additional $300 on a new bracket.

    Not sure I follow your question. Best way to go about this is to list:

    What is the year make and model of the new boat?

    What size and brand jack plate?

    Power Pole or Talon?

    What size Power Pole or Talon?

    So I ordered a 2017 ranger z518 with a manual jackplate but I will have to call the dealer to find out what kind. I have a Talon with a sandwich mount bracket and would like to know if you can order or buy just the piece that bolts to the plate. I have the other two pieces from my sandwich bracket.

    I gotcha... So your looking for just the "L" looking portion?

    Yes, it is referred to the "elbow" in the instructions. It is the only piece that is different between a sandwich bracket and a jack plate bracket.

    I had inquired about the same thing. Have to purchase the full bracket.
