Barbecue & Table Mounts

Secure Your Onboard Grill with the Right Marine Mount

There's nothing quite like a fresh meal cooked onboard — but before you fire up your marine grill, you need a mounting solution that can handle the demands of life on the water. Magma barbecue and table mounts are purpose-built hardware systems designed to hold your grill and serving tables firmly in place, whether you're anchored in a quiet cove or cruising at speed. Choosing the right mount isn't just about convenience — it's about safety, stability, and getting the most out of your onboard cooking setup.

Why Marine-Specific Mounts Matter

A standard household mounting bracket simply isn't up to the task on a boat. Marine barbecue and table mounts are engineered to handle a uniquely demanding combination of challenges. Unlike household mounting hardware, marine grill mounts must handle vibration, moisture, and salt exposure while maintaining a firm grip on rails or mounting surfaces. Using a properly engineered mount also improves safety and prevents damage to both the grill and your boat. The difference between a mount rated for anchored use versus one built for underway grilling is equally critical: standard-duty mount designs are suitable for use on boats at anchor or at a mooring, while heavy-duty designs are built for cooking underway.

Types of Barbecue & Table Mounts

One of the strengths of the Magma mount lineup is its variety — there's a solution for virtually every boat layout and grilling style.

• Rod Holder Mounts: Rod holder mounts slide into your existing rod holders and then attach to your grill, designed to compensate for the rod holder angle to hold your grill perfectly level. The LeveLock mount is the most popular and versatile option, slotting into any fishing rod holder on your boat to give you a secure hold while you grill on the water.
• Round Rail Mounts: Round rail mounts allow for a variety of adjustments to fit your needs, fitting standard marine handrails ranging from 7/8" to 1", and their pivoting arm means they can work on any angle handrail.
• Side, Bulkhead & Flat Rail Mounts: Vertical surface mounts can turn any vertical surface into a cooking area, attaching to square rails, flat rails, bulkheads, transoms, or cabin sides, and can allow your grill to hang over the water while you cook.
• Pedestal & Deck Mounts: Pedestal mounts are freestanding and mount directly to your deck. Some are quickly detachable, allowing the pedestal and grill to be removed when done grilling, and they typically have a higher load capacity suited to support the largest marine grills.
• Onshore Mounts: The onshore stand mount turns your boat grill into a standard beach or camping grill. After use, it folds down for flat storage without any tools — perfect for sandbar, island-hopping, and transient boaters.

Table Mounts: Expand Your Galley Space

Beyond barbecue mounts, this category also includes table mounting systems that let you attach serving, cutting, and fillet tables to your boat's rails or gunwales. FDA-approved fillet tables provide the perfect place for filleting fish or preparing and serving food at the sandbar, and a wide selection of standard-duty and heavy-duty mounting hardware is available for use on any boat. Whether you're prepping a catch, setting out a spread for guests, or simply need a stable work surface, a properly mounted marine table keeps everything secure and off the cockpit floor.

Key Considerations When Shopping

Boat grill mounts provide a secure and reliable way to install a BBQ grill on your boat without sacrificing deck space or safety. Designed for marine environments, these mounts are built from corrosion-resistant materials and engineered to hold grills firmly in place on rails or deck surfaces — whether you're outfitting a pontoon, cruiser, or sailboat. Before purchasing, always verify rail diameter compatibility, match your mount duty rating to your typical boating speed, and confirm that the mount is designed for your specific grill model (rectangular vs. round kettle grills require different hardware). Most grills do not include mounting hardware, so choosing a mount that matches your rail diameter and deck layout is essential.
