Need Bracket Advice!!
I have a cmc 5.5 hydraulic jackplate. I am getting mixed answers on what bracket I would need to add Talons to my boat?
Some say that neither the sandwich style or side mount will work? Is a direct mount my only option. I would hate to drill holes thru my hull.
Thanks in advance.

sandwich will work , you can not sidemount to a CMC , Talon and Powerpole the same when it comes to a CMC. When you sandwich it does not matter what brand jackplate you have. ( Yes... some have drilled holes in large setback CMC plates that have the room and used sidemount plates, however there is not room on 6" and below.).

Go With God !
My CMC isn't hydraulic but the side bolts are .750" and the holes in the Talon bracket are .500".

I also have the CMC 5.5 jack plate . Go to Power Pole website go though the questions about your boat and plate and they will tell you right then what brackets to use . If you are not comfortable with that you can call Power Pole directly and they will tell you what bracket is best for your boat . Hope this helps !

those look like M to S adapter plates to me not sandwich mount brackets, but that is an option as well. you mounting bolts that bolt the pole to bracket are quite long as well.

I had a 5.5 CMC Power Lift jackplate on my old boat. The sandwich style powerpole mounting brackets worked fine. Which ones you will need just depends on the boat/hull design so you have the correct rise and setback.

I went with the sandwich type mounting brackets for the Talons on my Ranger.

These power pole side mount brackets were bolted to the sandwich adapter plate above.
