I highly recommend that you line the immediate area in the cockpit with a double layer of aluminum foil. Failure to do so could result in a slippery cockpit after clean-up.
One thing you didn't mention, is if you will be on hook during the frying. If so, you might consider a fore and aft anchoring scheme to keep the pitching down.
Also, I'd do a little research as to the proper way to dispose of the oil once finished. Since it isn't technically waste, you might be able to dump it over the rail.

Really??!!?? Next you will tell us that you don't like Mantus anchors.
do you have an oven? Im serious dont risk it this is a million times worse than having a gas engine or propane, or volatile fumes...if for whatever reason the oil spills you will melt and burn your glass catch fire and cause some huge damage.
I dont even recomend turkey fryers for cooking at home...had a friend who lost her apartment because of a neighboor how didnt drop it in correctly.
if you insist just do a breast, or roulade brown it first in a skillet with 1 inch of oil transfer to baking sheet and in oven
traditionally
if you want recipes and tips just let me know...there are many other chefs on here with skillz too!
peace
happy thanksgiving

Leaving the turkey fryer ashore would be one of the trade-offs I'd gladly make to become a full-time cruiser.

I think suspended off the end of the boom. That way, when it turns into a fireball you can cut the line and drop the whole works in the water.
But then again, maybe that's not a good idea. I picture a burning oil slick engulfing the entire anchorage. Might make the evening news.

Alternative recipe:
(1) Arrange stuffed turkey, breast side up, in center of cockpit.
(2) From the safety of your dinghy, set boat on fire.
(3) When flames die down, turkey is perfectly cooked.
Note: An 11 pound turkey requires a 25 foot boat to cook properly. Add 2 feet of boat length for every additional pound of turkey.
Fiberglass and wooden boats work equally well, but a wooden boat will impart a nice smokey flavor. Also note that you can wrap potatoes in foil on the cabin sole and have them bake at the same time.
Happy Thanksgiving! :laugher

A few years ago there was a discussion here about the risks inherent in cooking explosive foods - or, cooking foods in an explosive manner. You may find that thread here.
The upshot was that it is important to wear proper protective clothing.
This was developed for such a purpose:
![]()
Huge international outcry has resulted in the World Incendiary Materials Precautionary Service (W.I.M.P.S.) to develop a less butch version of the SLUG-P suit.
The newest version of protective gear is called the W.A.F.F.L.E.R. (Warm And Fuzzy Flammable Liquid Explosion Resistant) suit.
It provides all of the safety of the SLUG-P suit while allowing the wearer to look like a cute widdle bunny wabbit.
The suit is made of a tight kevlar-weave with titanium plate inserts in strategic areas. The asbestos-meshed neoprene lining provides thermal protection from combusting canned goods as well as doubling as an immersion suit and PFD due to its positive buoyancy characteristics.
One ear contains a powerful EPIRB transmitter, while the other can support the optional SAM (surface to air missile) modification kit.
The WAFFLER suit is available in white (as shown), flourescent yellow (also called 'yum-yum yellow' - very appealing to some species of shark) or, the very popular 'A Christmas Story' pink.
Happy Thanksgiving.

excepyt if you do that hot oil and water EXPLODEI think suspended off the end of the boom. That way, when it turns into a fireball you can cut the line and drop the whole works in the water.

The real question is... Cruising with turkeys - do you keep them in your V berth or an external locker? And do you feed them crumbles or pellets?
The nice thing is once you process the turkey, you have feathers for hand-tying lures as well as some chum for the water. Then you can deep fry some fish for Christmas!

Just make sure it is the blue water rated turkey fryer. You can tell them from the Benehuntalina fryers because of the roll bar and attached skeg hung igniter.. The flame is also in a protected aperture unlike the non blue water fryers.... A well built BWTF will have a dual Racor filtration system for keeping the cooking oil cleannnnnn....! Don't be swayed by lesser turkey fryers, only the BWTF's are built for this...
Now if you really want the cats meow turkey fryer get the one with built in AIS TX so we all Know when it's done and can come over for dinner...

No worries, if the oil gets too hot I'll just throw a scoop of ice in it to cool it down.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAJAJAJAJAJAJAAJA geeze I hope your not serious...well I know you arent
btw thats how the people burned down the apartmnet complex they threw in a FROZN turkey into 400f oil
holy craptastic turkey recipe!
here is a related story my spanish friends cruised with a regular steel paella pan and it could get greasy and oily when sauteeing off the ingredients...however this guy was a pro and not much oil is used like in a fryer
if you insist on frying they sell small pressure friers now that are contained like mcdonalds uses to fry their fries
btw thats how they get the crunchy outside and soft inside texture

Today, I smoked a 46' turkey on my lowly 28' boat thanks to good cooking.
Why can’t these picnic chefs learn to cook?
They especially seem to have a problem with a deep frying. The oil should be hot...like well above room temperature. Aren't they teaching this in the Cooking 101 courses?
Every season, every time I go out, I cook much bigger, more expensive turkeys. I bought a turkey off Craigslist and a deep-fryer from eBay, usually for $100 to $200. It just goes to show you, how much you spend has little to do with performance or potential cooking enjoyment.

I was curious about that as well. I was thinking of grounding it to the keel with a copper strap, but perhaps a thru-hull would be better? Maybe SVAuspicious can weigh in on this.
