    Mounting Flange

    I am considering mounting a flange for the old Magma Round Grill to the gunnel of my 2000 SeaRay 340. Forward of the gas filler, but short of the side step. Right on the back starboard corner. It looks very much like a flagpole mount but with a 3/8-1/2 inch hole to receive the mounting bar...
