NOTICE
Using a portable fire extinguisher with an
access/fire port in the engine compartment is
preferred to opening the engine compartment
to fight the fire. However, using a portable
extinguisher in this way provides less protection
against fire than a fixed suppression system.
The.equipment.must.be.approved.by.the.US.Coast.
Guard,.be.in.serviceable.condition,.and.be.stowed.
in.a.readily.accessible.location..Equipment.having.
a.date.for.serviceable.life.must.be.within.the.speci-
fied usage date shown. Careful selection and proper
stowage.of.visual.distress.equipment.is.very.impor-
tant.if.young.children.are.aboard.
NOTICE
Do not test fire extinguishers by squirting small
amounts of the extinguishing compound. The
fire extinguisher might not work when you
really need it.

An automatic FE241 agent fire extinguisher system is
optional.on.some.boat.models..The.equipment.utilized.
has been so chosen, and located, to provide sufficient
volume.and.coverage.of.the.entire.engine.compart-
ment..While.the.system.ensures.excellent.overall.
bilge fire protection, it does not eliminate the USCG
requirement for hand-held fire extinguishers..Refer.
