readily accessible when there are people onboard ;
- Ensure that the engine compartment fire extinguisher discharge port is readily accessible ;

Notes for the attention of the boat user
General points
- Check that the bilges are clean and frequently check that there are no fuel/gas vapours or
fuel leaks.
- In the case of replacement of components of the fire-fighting equipment, use only the
appropriate components of the same code designation or having the equivalent technical
capacity and fire resistance.
- Do not install free-hanging curtains or other fabrics near or above the cooking appliances or
other equipment with a naked flame.
- Do not store combustible materials in the engine compartment. If non-combustible materials
are stored in the engine compartment they must be secured so there is no danger of them
falling on machinery and they do not obstruct access to and from the compartment.
- The fire exits other than the door or main companionway are identified by the following
