Took around 2 hours. I went direct to the transom instead of having the motor pulled and installing the sandwich bracket. I was able to install the tilt bracket, which is not designed for direct transom mount due to clearance issues, by making a few easy modifications. I installed the tilt bracket in the reverse direction. The holes line up with the Talon, it's just the wider footprint is connected to the Talon and the narrower to the Transom. I bought a plastic cutting board and cut it to size and sandwiched it in between the tilt bracket and the transom, to get the clearance I needed. Sealed the holes and perimeter of the cutting board with 3M 5200. Installed the MK locks to hopefully deter theft. Going to save wiring up the alarm to the ignition for another day.
