Grill mounted on Premier w/o using railing
Posted: Fri Jul 03, 2015 2:35 pm
I just added a grill to my Premier 220 Sunsation. As some know Premiers have full panels making railing brackets difficult to use-plus I didn't want to scratch up my rails. I put a Springfield Marine Thread-lock pontoon table base (same as my OEM table base) and 24" round table onto the motor pod reinforcement plate. I secured it with six (6) SS 1/4-20 screws and nylon insert lock nuts. The grill is a Cuisinart. I didn't want the grill to be tied down to only pontoon use so I drilled 8 holes in the table top and simply tie it down for use. This lets me use the same grill on shore when camping.
For anyone wondering the outboard most screw is sufficiently far from the edge of the reinforcement plate and the screws are all well torqued with washers and lock nuts. It anything the table base pedestal casting adds stiffness.
