kfp673 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2012 has anyone mounted a magama kettel grill on a 260scr? I have a differnt boat but I just went with a Kuuma grill and a pedestal mount on my swim platform. Used it 3 times now and it's great. All of the smaller grills take time to get hot but overall it works well. I just could not bring myself to spend as much for a small boat grill as I did fo my Weber at home! But I do hear they are real nice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GetAway 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2012 I mounted a Magma grill on my extended swim step between the rungs of the ladder on my 242 Cruiser. Raise the latter door and screw in the pole to the base that's between the ladder rungs then put the grill onto the post and enjoy your meal. When you're finished let the grill cool and take it all down then shut the cover. No pedestal base to step/trip over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How come no one installed a gunwale mounted rod holder and put a grill into it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what I ended up doing, I put a flush mount rod holder base on the port side gunwale and bought the coresponding mount from magma, it works great and looks like it came from the factory.

We'll probably end up with that too. I thought more about mounting it on the swim platform but if we're grilling we're probably stopped and swimming so a hot grill in the way wouldn't be good.

GetAway 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2012 I like that idea, I don't want something to stub a toe on. How come no one installed a gunwale mounted rod holder and put a grill into it? I boat/fish year round and it rains from October to June here in Oregon. I keep the side windows installed to keep the mist/rain out and I also use the grill year round so mounting on the swim step was the best area for me. If I lived where there was sun, more than the two/three months we see it, then I would have mounted on the gunwale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It rains here a lot too, I had not considered how I'd access the grill with the windows on. Thanks for saving me from that one. Ok, so now I'm thinking about putting it on the transom, starboard side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
love2speed 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2014 For all you folks who have installed a grill with a pedestal mount on the swim platform can you tell me if you used screws with bedding or bolts with washers etc? Also I have a 99 322, how thick is the swim platform? Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amanphoto 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2014 I installed a weber grill on the back of my 250cr. I love it. I tried the "marine" grill, but they all sucked. I came up with this deign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
love2speed 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2014 Looks great, I love how it's offset to save space, but where did you get the base mount for the swim platform, I assume the other pieces were custom welded? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amanphoto 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2014 The base mount is a table mount from a boat. I found it at a boating supply store. The mount was $50 ish. The rest is custom welded stainless steel. look at these for parts: http://greatlakesskipper.com http://www.searay-parts.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
