I have narrowed it down to two locations. Thought I would get the BE consensus before gluing and bolting it down.

I mounted mine on my extended swim platform. I don't think you want it near the swim ladder.
 
I agree, not near the ladder, perhaps on the port side.
 
The same spot on the port side (as starboard) could also work since that might offer you more space between the grill and enclosure?
 
#2 spot is a no go. Cannot get on and off a boat that might be rafted to you.

#1 is better of the 2. I would mount it closer to the back seat so you can turn the grill around and cook from the cockpit if needed.
 
The problem with the port side, and the starboard side for that matter is at our current marina that is the on/off point. At another marina it could be just the opposite. That is why I favor the other location. I could go about 6 more inches forward or away from the canvas.
 
Agree with the Platform option. As a size comparison, a friend with a 26 Monterey has his there and you can barely notice it.
 
You cannot put it near the ladder. No way. Just asking for a burn, plus it blocks access to the boat.

Like Bill said, #1 also blocks the wind better.
 
Sorry. I did not notice you did not have an extended platform. #1 would be my choice.
 
My vote goes to spot #1 as well. Too much of a temptation to use as a grab handle coming up the boarding ladder.
 
Grease drips from the bottom of the grill, which locaation do you prefer to clean the mess from ?
 
Does it have to be permanently mounted? How many times will this grill be used during your outings?

I would devise a method of having a mounting plate and socket to only mount then needed.

Problem with number one spot is too close to the curtains....wouldn't they melt or get disfigured from the heat?
 
Is that a fuel fill seen in both pictures. if so, that would concern me. Also, where are the tank vents?
 
Forget the Magma. Bill needs to invent a BGE mount!!
 
sorry, didn't know it was diesel. Not in his profile.
 
Option 1 looks cleaner and is out of the way. I'd just be concerned about getting it too close to the camper canvas when the lid is open.
 
#1 position, and a little further aft. I think I would consider rotating it so the lid opened towards the port side.
