Frequently Asked Questions
What boat sizes work best with the 10-foot Talon?
The 10-foot Talon is optimized for boats up to approximately 20 feet in length, though performance depends on boat weight, wind conditions, and current. For larger vessels, consider the 12' or 15' models.
How does the wave absorption system work?
The built-in floating suspension allows the Talon to move with wave action while maintaining anchor penetration. This prevents the anchor from working loose in rough water and reduces stress on the mounting system.
Can I control multiple Talon units simultaneously?
Yes, the wireless remotes and mobile app can control up to two Talon units either separately or together. This is ideal for larger boats requiring dual anchor systems for optimal positioning.
What bottom types work best with the Talon?
The Talon works effectively in sand, mud, shell, rock, and vegetation. The user-selectable anchoring modes optimize performance for different bottom conditions, with specific settings for soft bottoms and rough water.
Is professional installation recommended?
While the Talon includes comprehensive installation hardware and documentation, professional installation ensures optimal placement, proper electrical connections, and warranty compliance. The unit requires 12V power and secure transom mounting.
