Anyone with a 10-14 24x installed a rod holder up in the bow area? I like to pull straight in to beach, and I'd like to be able to mount my magma grill up front if possible. Raining like crazy, or else I'd go check it out myself. Attaching pic of the rod holder that I received for my birthday.

It's really at a strange angle, but with the magma grill mount, it won't matter much as long as it fits. Thanks,
 
Yep, @Ronnie has. He's got a good set up. He's got pics too
 
I believe that the locking mount I used will be much more stable than a rod holder as a bow grill mount.
 
I don't think that mount will work for mine. I've got a kettle.
 
Jesus. I swear I clicked everywhere on their site and couldn't find the mounts. Thanks, @Bruce
 
Sorry for the late response, been really busy lately. I mounted two straight rod holders on the sides of my anchor locker, the slightly angled ones wouldn't not fit. You can mount a magma kettle grill on one using Magmas level lock mount but the other mount mentioned earlier is the way to go if you don't want to drill a 2" hole in your boat and / or you dont plan on using it as a rod holder as well.
 
Yeah, I use the level lock mount with the table legs. I ordered the one above for the bow however. Smaller hole to drill, and probably more stable. Thanks!
