I just came across a website http://www.deepbluemounts.com, and they have a fully adjustable downrigger mount. I called up my buddy and he told me that he had one of their mounts on his boat. Said its top quality and would work great for mounting a grill or any other accessories you desire. It even has a universal mounting plate that would fit any downrigger name brand. Check out the website maybe it will work for you.

Hello Tim,
I like your new mounting location and mount application much better for your particular requirement, and thanks so much for the kind words.

However, to avoid confusion to your readers, I should point out that the part number for the Scotty’s Fish Rod Holder Mount that you selected is actually part number A10-165 for use with Magma Kettle Grills and T10-365 for use with Magma Rectangular Grills or Magma Single Mount Fish Cutting Tables. A10-175 and T10-355 are for use with standard tubular type rod holders, such as the standard Perko flush deck rod holders that are flush deck mounted along the gunnels beside the cockpit of most sport fishing boats.

Thanks again, Tim, and let us know if we can be of any further assistance.

Enjoy your new grill !

Probably. I doubt there’s a grill mount location on a C-Dory that doesn’t increase the risk of fire. Well, I guess the bow pulpit would be pretty safe.

But that’s one reason I post these things. I’m learning here, too.

So in order to move forward, I need to understand the risk better. It comes down to the answer to this question:

Is the risk of a gasoline fire greater with the grill over the splash well or alongside the boat, near the fuel vent?

I don’t know the answer to that.

Aren’t you worried about fire in that location? Hanging the barbecue a few inches from 36 gallons of fuel on the C-Dory and right beside the motor seems a tad risky, no?
