Grill
After spending all last year using a table top type of grill we finally got a bigger grill on our boat. My wife is terrified that someone will pull up to our boat and we won't have enough food for them so we do a lot of cooking on the lake.
The grill is on a pole that can be raised when cooking and then lowered out of the way while cruising. It is mounted on our homemade front deck. You can see the pole sticking through the bottom when it is in the down position. It didn't seem to have any impact on the first voyage with it.
The gas line is ran back to a rear compartment where the propane is kept so the propane tank is out of the way.
Hopefully this weekend will be the first test of actually cooking on it.

I got a chance to try out the grill this past weekend. Friday and Sunday we had a problem with the wind putting out the fire. Finally found out that if we stuck a can on the grill to hold the lid open a little the fire wouldn't go out. We could only stay out for 3 or 4 hours on Friday so we just warmed up some cheese sticks and pizza roll type things. On Saturday we had kabobs but the real test was on Sunday when we had brats and cooked cabbage with sausage. There was grease splatter on the front deck but it washed off pretty easy using a spray bottle with water and dish detergent in it. Really pleased with how the grill preformed and really liked that the grease was kept outside the railing.

jamelvin,
Can you post a pic of the slider locking mechanism on the pole supporting the grill? A close up of it would help those who would like to replicate it! a build sheet w/the parts used would help.
Some of us would like bigger grills and this would be a way to use the old full size grill if someone has the willingness and ability to construct from your build sheet/parts list and close up pics of the slider pole and gas hookups/controls!

GR8, I don't have any oher pictures currently. I will try to get a picture of the sliding & locking mechanism the next time I'm at the lake.
This project took several month and went through several iterations. The project was also done by a friend. I'm not sure if I can come up with a parts list or a plan but will try. I don't think there is really that many parts. I think the hardest part was getting the bracket/pole assembly mounted welded so that it set correctly on the boat and so that we could run the gas line through the middle of it.
Anyway, I'll get the pictures and see what I can find out.
