BBQ Grill on small bowrider? (185 sport)

[Financiers]

Hey everyone,

I posted previously about upgrading from my sea ray 185 sport, but I haven't made the move yet. I'm thinking of keeping this little boat for awhile longer and really want to have a grill. I know people love magma grills and was wondering if this was even possible on a small bowrider like mine? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Do you have a swim platform? I have a magma on a pole mount. The base is mounted on my swim platform.

Thanks Bennett. I do have a swim platform. Where did you install the base on yours? Thanks again

I had mounted one with 2 extension on a 240. Just a thought

The base is mounted on the side opposite the swim ladder. It is mounted so that it does not interfere with my engine hatch opening nor does it interfere with my camper canvas. The pole and grill are stored until it is time to use it. We have used it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner at times.

Send me an email address and I will get you a pic or two if you like. Posting pics here are a pain.

Another option is to install a rod holder then use a rod holder mount for the grill. Sorry this picture was taken at night.

I use my Magma grille in a rod holder mount, works great!

Here is how it was mounted

Take a look on Magma's website - they have all the available mounts listed there. See which one would work best for you and your 185. Depending on what year yours is, you may be able to even use a rail/bimini pole mount. All good options mentioned above - and there are more.

Thanks for such healthy discussion on the topic of BBQ Grills. It really help me out in getting the valueable insight.

I second the rod holder mount. Used one on my 15' bowrider and 20' center console. Works great has you can align it so the grill hangs outboard and any drippings just fall in the water and no hot grill for someone to bump into.
