260 Fire Extinguisher Placement

[thunderbird1]

We have two small (2 pound Kidde B-C) fire extinguishers on board in addition to a factory-installed fire suppression system in the engine compartment. One of our small fire extinguishers is mounted in the cabin cabinet under the sink. The second is sitting in a drink holder near the cockpit sink -- not the best or safest location. My question is where do you have your fire extinguisher(s) mounted in your 260?

Our 260 is a 2000, so it may vary from yours, but ours are in the cabinet under the galley sink and in a bracket under the throttle. Not sure I like the fact that the one under the sink is fairly hard to get at, so I may relocate it, but that's where it was when we bought the boat.

ours is the same as Jeff. We also added two more. One down below and one under the cockpit sink.:thumbsup:

I need to buy these too and currently none are mounted anywhere. Good topic and thanks for the ideas of where to mount them. Loren, when you say down below, where did you mount it, under the sink in the galley too?

In addition to the fire suppresion system in the engine compartment, there is one installed right next to the Captain's Chair on the pedestal. I do not have one in the cabin.

I put an extra one below the ac/dc panel in the open space and mounted the other one under the sink in the cockpit.:thumbsup:
