Fire extinguisher check
As an inboard boat less than 26 feet in length,
your boat must be fitted with one B-1 type fire
extinguisher when navigating waters con-
trolled by the U.S. Coast Guard. In addition,
most state and local boating laws require that
the craft carry a USCG-approved fire extin-
guisher whenever the boat is operated.
Make sure at least one fire extinguisher is
aboard and full; two fire extinguishers are
recommended. See the instructions supplied
by the extinguisher manufacturer to deter-
mine the indication of the condition.
A fire extinguisher is not standard equipment
with this boat. If you do not have a fire extin-
guisher, contact your local Yamaha Boat
Dealer or fire extinguisher dealer for one
meeting the proper specifications.
Storing the fire extinguisher
One fire extinguisher is to be mounted in the
driver’s side console storage compartment.
The fire extinguisher recommended for this
location is a chemical-type extinguisher with
a capacity of two pounds or more.
If you choose to have two fire extinguishers,
the other fire extinguisher is to be mounted in
the rear underseat storage compartment
(port). There is a location label outside the
compartment. This fire extinguisher located
near the engine compartment should be a
“clean agent” type designed to displace oxy-
gen, with an inert gas, such as CO
2
, or FE-
36™, and have a capacity of five pounds or
more.
