I always love when someone is budget minded and/or handyman special alternatives to boating or grilling. I'll bet you saved enough to pay for those delicious looking steaks. Good to know no one is going hungry
I have scoured the internet looking at boat grills for my 'new-to-me' used pontoon boat but was not happy with the options I found until I ran across your video. This is PERFECT and I already have a weber Q so lots of money saved. Thank you so much for sharing as I never gave a thought to installing my weber on the boat. Cheers
Checking in to see how the bracket is doing after 1 year? Any issues with slippage when the lid is open? I have the same grill and it is quite heavy. I would be devastated if my beloved grill ended up in the drink. Thanks for sharing. Great idea.
Nice job! Thanks for posting. This is exactly what I’m looking for. Just curious...the Weber Q is approx. 30 pounds. Any trouble with the mount staying in place without slipping?
No problem at all so far. We normally remove it when we’re underway just because it sticks out over the rail and could bump against lock walls or pilings along the way.
Slick! Love the adaptability to table tops. I have the same plan in mind, but have been concerned about the Magma adapters "grip" on the stainless rail. Do you ever get the feeling the grill, grates, dinner and all might flop over backward and disappear in the lake?
I’ve never been worried about it. I do remove it and stow it when we’re underway so I don’t hit it with rough wakes but I’ve never been worried about it under normal conditions. I’ll even grill while underway on calm days.
I liked your video.... and I thought you had found the perfect solution for Weber Bbq on the boat I have the Q1200 Bbq but I am struggling with the Magma mounts. My Cutwater's round rail in the cockpit where I need to mount the BBQ is is 2.4" circumference which is 0.732" diameter I believe ) .... The Magma mounts only appear to offer 1" , 1 1/4" and 1 1/2" for the Extended round rail Dual mount .... although it looks like they offer a smaller 7/8" diameter for the round rail Dual mount ( non-extended ) model which I believe may work .... but I want the extended mounts to hang the BBQ out from the boat ... Any suggestions ? ... or , am I out of luck ? Best regards from the Pacific NW
I know this is 8 months old. Have you had any trouble with the "thinning" of the grill foot, ie cracking or weakness from the hole? I have my Magma rails and I'm about to start drilling.
Not at all. It has been solid. I’ve left it on the rail in rough, pounding seas and it hasn’t budged. Best boat grill setup I’ve ever owned. Best of luck with yours!
For our setup we had problems with wind on anchor. When anchoring, the bow points into the wind always. That puts the Weber’s gap at grate level into the wind. That wasn’t good in moderate or heavier wind. Input a piece of aluminum foil there to block the wind and it was fine. Low wind or in a marina and we were fine since that didn’t line up directly with the wind direction.
