Post subject:  Magma Grill Mount Question

Found me a minty magma kettle gas grill on craigslist for $75! :D

Now my question is mounting, I would want to do the "flush mount" recessed top system (A10-126). Where would be a good place to mount it, and since the rail is tall, there's no way to get your hand under to tighten bolts. I'd need some kind of friction system (like drywall anchors?).

I was thinking rear port side, but to not interfere with the bimini top if it's down will have to go almost directly in the corner. When in use I could always put the bimini in the up but not extended position. I've also considered something like the port side area where the bow cup holder is next to the windshield.

Anyone?

I have never seen a flush mount. I have seen a surface, rod holder & rail mounts. Thats not to say that you could one! I would visit there web site for anything new.

Yup. The whole rod pulls out, and the little plug fills the hole. Nice and pretty when not in use.

My question is, how do I bolt her down? The main place I want to install this bad boy I can't get behind it to install nuts on the bolts and I'm sure it's at least 1/2in thick glass. Do I just use some of that 3m marine sealer/epoxy, predrill, and use stainless bolts that are at least as long as how thick the fiberglass is?

Or am I SOL and I need to find a place that I can get nuts and washers behind the bolts?

I used screws.

Stainless screws that are 1" long, with some 3m marine stuff. I hope it holds!

I decided the best place is next to the starboard side drink holder by the windshield. Too hard to reach and get to if it's living in the back port corner. Plus, in the front when beached you can still use the grill!

The fiberglass there isn't that thick there so I'll make an aluminum backing plate. Right now it's living on the bimini top pole. Not sturdy, but it works. The stupid rotating flush mount cost nearly as much as the grill but at least it will be pretty when not in use.
