Page: 71 / 143

Boats longer than 26 feet and shorter than 40 feet: Two Type B-1 or
at least one Type B-2 portable hand extinguishers. If your boat has
a fixed fire extinguishing system approved by the U.S. Coast Guard,
one Type B-1 extinguisher is required.
Boats longer than 16 feet and shorter than 26 feet: At least one
portable hand Type B-1 fire extinguisher.
All fire extinguishers should be mounted in a readily accessible loca-
tion away from the engine compartment. Everyone on board should
know where the fire extinguishers are and how to operate them.
If your fire extinguisher has a charge indicator gauge, cold or hot
weather may affect the gauge reading. Consult the instruction man-
ual supplied with the fire extinguisher to determine the accuracy of
the gauge.
HIGH WATER ALARM
Your cabin boat may be equipped with a high water alarm. To deter-
mine if your boat has a high water alarm, contact your dealer. A
horn under the dash will sound if the water level in the bilge is
excessive. Periodically test the system by activating the float unit
mounted on a sidewall or on the transom in the aft bilge area. If the
warning horn activates, immediately put on your life jacket and seek
safety. If conditions allow, determine the cause of the high water
and make needed repairs.
