Hey Guys:
I know there are couple great posts on grill installs on all Yamaha models, but I could not find one that was specifically for an SX190. (if there is, I am sorry....must have not looked hard enough) After reviewing the different posts and different installation options, I derived my own way of putting a grill on an SX190. Hope this is helpful. (if not, sorry)
Couple of things I wanted form this install:
1. Removable
2. Sturdy
3. Enough grilling space to feed my 5 and more.
Pulling ideas from all the posts, here is the list of materials I used. I accomplished this for $237, which way cheaper than a Magma grill plus all the table parts from Yamaha.
(1) Camco Olympian 4500 Series Grill - $145. Link FYI, this grill does not have an ignitor button. I chose this because of all the issues folks were have with these small grills and the ignitor.
(1) Magma T10-355 Fishing Rod Holder Grill Mount - $65 Link
(1) Amarine-made Stainless Steel Slide Mount Removable Fishing Rod Holder - $23 Link
(6) Bolts, Washers and Nuts ( from Home Depot) - $3
(1) 1/2 thick Cutting Board (as used in this post by @JAUGA82) - $1 Dollar Store
I preface this mod by saying I am not responsible for any damages that this may potentially cause to your boat. This is at your own risk.
Now that we have gotten that out of the way, here is what i did. This worked well in my case as I got a much larger grill than the standard Magma, so it may can be applied to other brands and sizes of grills. I have tried to make this a simple as possible, but if you have any questions, please post.
1. Measure and cut the cutting board to the size need for the bottom of the grill, where you want to mount the Magma mount.
2) Drill the mounting holes for the grill...not the mount. Test your bolts to see if they line up, size and such.
3) Measure and mark holes for the mount. Make sure you have the orientation of the mount in which you need. Meaning do you want the grill to tilt forward or to the side.......this will come in to play on where YOU decide to install your grill on your boat. I mounted fine so the mount would adjust Front to Back.
4) Next feed the bolts from the underside of the cutting board. So, the bolt heads should be pointing to the back of the grill. Once you have done that Re-place your grill mount bolts and install.
Now comes the scary part (at least for me...)...
5) Find the optimal location on the boat where you would like to install the removable pole mount and bracket. I put it on the lower platform, on a flat surface and with access to through the wet storage. just in case my locking compound gets old over time, I can tighten bolts if need be. Make sure where ever you install it, where you drill....you will not drill anything else other than fiberglass (IE..hoses, wires, etc.)
6) Slide the fishing rod holder in. Make sure the bolts are good and tight. I used Loctite on the back side bolts inside and under the wet storage. I will come back and put some silicone sealant, just to make sure of no leaks. When sliding the Grill and mount in, make sure to twist. This fishing pole mount comes with the teeth grooves that locks the magma mount pole into place.
7). Enjoy and get fat....on the lake of course.
Let me know what you think. Improvements are welcome.
