"Exactly why I would want it through bolted and backed up. Someone will grab onto the table and anything less will give way."

A table mount is a 3 ft long lever prying at its base every time its touched.

Install a mounting plate on the deck outside where its bolted as well as one inside to take the loads.

The outside mounting plate has the added advantage of raising the mounting bolts up from the deck, so they will only leak if the water in the deck is higher than the plate is thick.

This concept works well for any item that is not likely to be a toe breaker.
