I talked to Ranger and they said it should not be a problem mounting directly to my transom with a talon. So I will be going direct and will keep everyone posted and try to take some pics also I'm going to use a stainless backing plate on it also .

Yes, you can place it where ever you want left or right/ close or far from the motor just make sure clearances are good with the motor turned and trimmed just to make sure.
I went centered between motor and side of the boat because I knew I was only buying one talon. But I considered going as close to the edge of the boat with the theory that it would be stronger where the side of the boat acts like a knee brace, and would have done that if I were getting two so the wider footprint would resist spinning better with two anchors.
