Minn Kota Talon - BMS Side Shim Kit (1810212)

A Flawless Fit for High-Performance Jack Plates
When mounting a shallow water anchor to a high-performance boat, a flush fit is absolutely mandatory. Bob's Machine Shop (BMS) jack plates feature a unique recessed side design. If you try to mount a Talon side adapter bracket directly over this gap, the bracket will torque, flex, and eventually fail under the stress of the water. The Minn Kota Talon BMS Side Shim Kit perfectly fills this recess gap, creating a solid, perfectly flat surface for your Talon bracket to securely bolt onto.
Whether you are rigging a single personal tournament boat or managing a commercial outfitting fleet, you need mounting hardware you can trust. Order your genuine Minn Kota accessories from a Canadian Authorized Service Center.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need this shim if I have an Atlas or Slidemaster jack plate?
No. This specific shim kit is machined to fill the unique recessed cavity found exclusively on the sides of Bob's Machine Shop (BMS) jack plates. Flat-sided jack plates from other brands do not require a spacer.
Does this shim kit work for both the port and starboard sides?
Yes, the shim is a universally machined block. It can be installed on either the port (left) or starboard (right) side of your BMS jack plate, depending entirely on which side of the outboard you prefer to mount your Talon.
Why can't I just bolt my adapter bracket over the gap?
Bolting a heavy metal bracket over a gap creates a weak point. When you drop the Talon and the boat shifts in the current, the massive leverage will cause the bracket to bend into the gap, stressing the bolts and potentially snapping the aluminum bracket completely.
