Recent topics on safety and CG/RCMP inspections reminded me of a question I have.
Fire extinguishers on boats - how long are they good for?
Like many small outboard poered boaters I carry a smallish 1 pound Kidde extinguisher, aluminum cannister. I have heard that they are good for seven years, and then need replacement. Is that correct?
On a previous larger boat I carried a 5 pound extinguisher and recharged it annually, but no space on the current boat for anything that large.
