I have a marine magma 15 inch kettle grill I mounted on the front mine. It is a SS propane grill. I found it to be too hot. So I called Magma. and they send me a smaller orifice, no charge. It work's much better now.
I mounted it similar to picture #2 above.
As other's have said I would stay away from charcoal.
I had the rail mount but was not happy with the location. Because not to many places to put it and use it comfortably. So I changed location to the front.
I had the regular West Marine brand SS Grill. It Rocked.I remember it was significantly less expensive that the Magma brand and this one lasted about 6 years.
I would personally stay away from charcoal for grilling on a boat. You really do not want to have lit coals damage the deck or carpet on the boat. I would stick with a propane powered grill for boat use.
When I had a boat, I used to carry an old Coleman propane powered table top grill, and use that both on shore if we beached the boat on an island or river bank, or on the boat. If I did that today, I would look for something like one of the Weber Q series that can be used table top or on an optional stand. Some of those above that mount to a pontoon boat railing would be nice.
Having owned a boat though, and grilled on a boat, my biggest advice is to stay away from charcoal. Wind and embers and a charcoal chimney will invariably not be a good idea on a boat.
EDIT:
Seeing now that there are grills intended for marine use, I would go that route, so that it can be properly and securely mounted.
