    Wondering where others are installing the fire extinguser in their boats?

    You aren’t required to mount it somewhere, just so you know. It just has to be accessible.

    I have mine in a compartment that has a side opening on the mid starboard side of my tiller boat. Just a few feet from the driver seat.

    You just have to remember where it is when asked or it’s needed. Not looking through each compartment and digging through a pile of junk to find the extinguisher at the bottom.

    If it takes 5 minutes to find it when LEO asks, it will take 5 minutes to find when a fire is spotted.

    Have mine mounted under the drivers console standing straight up easy to get to and very visible to just about anyone in the boat.

    After 5 years of thinking about where to mount it mine is still just rolling around in the center floor storage that is right in front of the rod locker.
