Imagine this: you’re anchored at your favourite fishing spot or drifting gently in a quiet bay, the sun is shining, and your catch of the day is ready to hit the grill. But where’s the BBQ? How do you mount it safely without permanently altering your boat?
If you’re like many Aussie boaters, you want flexibility. You want the convenience of mounting a BBQ or bait board on your vessel, but without the commitment of a permanent fixture. Whether you’re firing up lunch for the family or prepping fresh bait for the next drop, you need gear that’s as adaptable as your lifestyle.
That’s exactly why we designed our removable clamp on rail mounts—a smart, secure, and completely removable mounting solution crafted from premium 316 marine grade stainless steel.
So, if you’re searching for a reliable way to mount your portable BBQ or bait board on your boat without drilling holes or compromising the design of your railings, read on. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about our innovative mounting solution.
The Ultimate Mounting Solution for Boating BBQs and Bait Boards
Boaters know that space is limited and utility is everything. That’s why our clamp on rail mounts are designed to make the most of what you already have—your boat’s rails.
Using a smart clamp mechanism, our mounts attach securely to your existing rail setup. Once in place, simply slide your portable BBQ or bait board into the bracket, lock it down, and you’re ready to go.
The best part? When you’re done grilling or fishing, the entire setup removes just as easily, leaving no trace behind. Your deck remains clutter-free, and your rails stay clean and unaltered.
Built Tough with 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel
As with all our products, quality comes first. Our clamp on rail mounts are handcrafted in Australia using 316 marine grade stainless steel, chosen specifically for its durability, corrosion resistance, and sleek finish.
Why does this matter?
Saltwater environments are brutal on metal fixtures, especially those exposed to constant spray and sun. 316 stainless steel resists rust and corrosion better than other common alloys like 304 stainless.
It’s also strong and stable, providing the solid base your portable BBQ or bait board needs—even in rougher waters or choppy conditions.
Plus, the clean, polished look of stainless steel complements any vessel, from luxury yachts to modest fishing tinnies.
Simple, Tool-Free Installation and Removal
One of the standout features of our clamp on mounts is how easy they are to use. There’s no drilling, welding, or special equipment required.
Here’s how it works:
Choose your clamp size to match your boat’s rail diameter (we offer several sizes for a perfect fit).
Align the clamp with the desired location on your rail.
Tighten it securely using the built-in fasteners.
Slide in your portable BBQ or bait board, and it’s ready to go.
Removing the mount is just as fast. Loosen the clamp, detach the fixture, and your rail is back to its original state. This feature makes our mounts ideal for seasonal use, shared vessels, or anyone who values versatility.
A Perfect Fit for Any Boat Type
Whether you own a:
Yacht
Power boat
Houseboat
Catamaran
Runabout
Tinnie
Pontoon
…if it has a rail, we’ve got a mount that will fit.
Our clamps are available in multiple sizes to accommodate different rail diameters. If you’re unsure which size to choose, our team can assist you in measuring your rail and selecting the correct mount for your setup.
Compatible with Our Full Range of BBQs and Bait Boards
Another benefit? Our clamp on rail mounts are fully compatible with the entire Cookout portable range.
That includes:
Boat BBQs – gas or electric options, teppanyaki plates, portable models, and more
Bait boards – ideal for filleting, prepping bait, or cleaning your catch
Custom configurations – if you’re working with something unique, we can often adapt to suit
This interchangeability means you can switch between your BBQ and bait board as needed, or even mount both if your setup allows it.
For anglers, this is especially useful: prep your bait in the morning, remove the board in the afternoon, and mount the BBQ for an on-deck cook-up in the evening.
Designed for Life on the Water
We understand what boaters face every day—limited space, unpredictable weather, corrosive saltwater, and the constant movement of the vessel.
That’s why our mounting system is:
Compact – easily stored when not in use
Secure – holds your BBQ or board firmly, even while underway or anchored in light swell
Weather-resistant – built for salt, sun, wind, and water
Low-maintenance – just rinse off after use or give it a quick wipe with fresh water
The Ideal Setup for Fishing, Cruising, or Entertaining
Our clamp on mounts aren’t just practical—they’re a game-changer for how you use your boat. Whether you’re heading offshore for a fishing session or cruising with friends and family, they allow you to make full use of your space.
Here’s what you can do:
Grill fresh fish or prawns while you’re still on the water
Prepare bait and clean your catch right at the rail, without taking up valuable deck space
Entertain guests on board with a fully functional cooking station
Switch configurations in seconds to adapt to your activity
It’s all about making your boating lifestyle easier, more enjoyable, and more versatile.
