Boat Table Mount Guide: Every Way to Mount a Docktail Bar Table

Adjusts to sit level in any rod holder

The Magma LeveLock all-angle mount drops into the rod holders you already have: flush gunwale holders, clamp-on holders and rod holder–cup holder combos. It adjusts so the table sits level whether the holder is set at 15°, 30°, 60° or vertical, and a draw-tight handle locks the angle in place.

It's built from marine-grade stainless steel tubing and hard-anodized aluminum, folds flat for storage, and lifts out in seconds when it's time to fish. It also works in rocket launchers, leaning posts and fighting chairs. No rod holder where you want the table? The clamp-on rod holder adds one to 1"–1¼" round rails.

Clamps to your rail, no drilling

The pontoon rail mount clamps onto square pontoon rails and tightens with a hand knob. The 1¼" size fits about 90 percent of pontoons, 1" and 1½" are also available, and we can make custom sizes on request. It works on open and closed rails where the fencing touches the underside, and the table can move along the rail to wherever your group is sitting.

Like our tables, the mount is made from King StarBoard with stainless steel hardware. Rail-mounted tables keep the deck clear and the drinks within reach of the seats.

For smooth, flat surfaces

Two heavy-duty 4.5" SeaSucker vacuum mounts hold a table on smooth painted or high-gloss surfaces: countertops, console tops, engine hatches, livewell lids and painted gunwales. Each mount is rated to 120 lbs, built for saltwater, and releases cleanly with no marks or holes.

Good to know: suction mounts won't hold on non-skid, and they don't fit the Utility table.

Table top replacement: upgrade the table you have

Already have a pedestal table? Swap the top. The adapter plate attaches a Butler or Utility top to virtually any existing pedestal setup, straight or angled, using the post and base already on your boat, so there's no drilling. You trade a flat factory top with shallow cup rings for deep cup and bottle slots, storage and raised bump rails.

Straight-leg pedestal: a proper sit-down table

The complete pedestal table ships with the tabletop, pedestal post and floor plate. The floor plate bolts to the deck, giving you a dedicated sit-down table in the cockpit, bow or middle of a pontoon.

Angled side mount: table out, floor clear

The angled side mount bolts to a vertical surface, like the base of a bench seat, settee or bow seat, and angles the table out over the deck, so the floor stays clear for feet and gear. It's a popular setup on wake and surf boats.

Turns a YETI Tundra into a serving station

The cooler mount slides into the tie-down slots on YETI Tundra hard-sided coolers. There's no drilling and nothing to alter on the cooler, and it works on either side. Add a Butler cooler table, the Cooler Table for the most flat space, or the cup holder that holds 10 cups or bottles.

Tip: on Tundra 35, 45 and 55 coolers, keep some weight in the cooler or add a table on each side for balance. Tundra 65 and larger balance well with one table.

Clamps to square golf cart rails

Golf cart mounts clamp onto 1" or 1¼" square golf cart rails, so drinks, snacks and phones ride with you around the neighborhood, the course or to the beach. Choose the Butler golf cart table for drinks, storage and a serving surface, or the Golf Cart Cup Holder Caddy for drinks only.

Set it up anywhere

The Portable Camping & RV Table puts a Utility top on a portable stand with a collapsible tripod base. It stands 31" tall, the top weighs 12 lbs and the leg and base about 8 lbs, so it's easy to carry to the campsite, the pool, the patio, a tailgate or right next to the grill. Two tumbler holders, a knife holder, a bottle opener slot and an enclosed catch-all keep everything in reach.
