The extinguishers must be within easy access and kept away from a

inject the extinguishing product inside without opening the usual
access hatches.
Instructions to follow in case of a fire in the engine compartment
bilge:
- Stop the engine.
- Switch off power and stop fuel supply.
- First remove the cap then project the extinguishing substance
through the extinction hole situated on the partition of the aft cabin.
- Wait one minute before approaching.
- Open the access hatches and repair.
It is the owner's or the skipper's responsibility:
- To have the extinguishers checked in pursuance of the instructions
given.
- Use extinguisher replacements with equivalent features (same ca-
pacity and fire resistance) if the ones in place are out of date or
have been used.
- Make sure the extinguishers can be reached easily when people
are on board.
And also inform the crew of:
- where the extinguishers are and how they work.
- where the release aperture is situated in the engine compartment.
- where the emergency exits are.
