    Talon Garage Door Saver

    https://basscatowners.yuku.com/garag...er-t38337.html
    Having trouble getting the image to post I just used BASSCAT forum

    Here is my solution to Talons taking out the garage doors.
    I can travel all over with these as they stop the Talons from vibrating when tilted down.

    Just a note.
    I found that the base 2X4 had to be wider to keep the Talons from wobbling.
    I found that 14" base did the job very well.

    Since the bungee cord stretches I would not want to tow like that, it will bounce up and the support will move. You would want the support affixed solidly to the talon and the talons held down to the boat solidly like with ratchet straps... Maybe you have better roads than I do around my area!

    I thought so as well but they don't move at all, with the widened base.
    It is a lot less strain on the support brackets and I imagine less force on the Talon mounts as well being laid down and cradled upfront.
    A friend built a cradle for his and uses a lite strap to hold his down while trailering.
    Hey for less than $10 try one and see what you think.
    The other advantage is that I don't get them covered in road and bug debris when I trailer early morning and late afternoon.
    Thanks for the strap comment,
