Where to mount the BBQ grill
what about a grill on the back rail of a gas-powered cabin
cruiser type boat? You got gas-fumes to deal with. Not unless you hang it over the gas tank vent. And even that's not as risky as it sounds because it's gas fumes that collect in enclosed spaces that explode...if gas fumes that dissipate in open air exploded, every vehicle with a gas leak would explode when started and gas stations would be blowing up daily. Most grill's I've seen were on backs of sailboats, most of which are diesel powered. You just haven't been looking. There are even more powerboats with grills--which were all charcoal in the beginning, and some people still prefer it to gas--than sailboats. what do gas power boat cruisers do? Mine were mounted on the transom and overhung my swim platform. To my knowledge, there has never been a boat fire caused by a grill that's installed and used properly...that is, overhanging the water and propane cylinders stored above decks. It's only when they're used improperly that there's any danger of anything worse than losing your dinner overboard.

I have never understood why boats just don't blow up when grilling? Can anyone help me? |
