I bought a new Kidde fire extinguisher for my boat last year. Today I found out that I already need to replace it. This small extinguisher replaced the one that came in my boat and is just right for the space available. I know that I got it at either Academy or Wal-Mart. As uusal, nothing I do is easy. I cannot find another one.

The extinguisher is only 11" tall and white. It says No. SK-022032, but I cannot find anything for that online. It also says Model M5G and Mariner 5. It also says Item 466179. It is a 3-lb. bottle.

If anyone has seen one of these, please let me know.

Sorry about your luck. I own a small fire extinguisher company in Cen Tex. If your ever in the area, send me a
pm and I will get you the best one for the money. Kidde is just not made for anything other than sitting under your sink. If its under a year old and you can prove that it wasnt discharged, they may return it at Walmart or Academy.

Thank you dude!

Fortunately I got a head-honcho at Wal-Mart to look into this. Comes to find out that the extinguisher has been discontinued and they had pulled them off of the shelf. They still had five in the back room and I bought two.

Have you checked HomeDepot? I believe that they carry a line of Kiddie. I'm starting to think that the guage on the one that I have is broke. It's around 4 years old and I would have thought that it should be replaced by now but it still shows a full charge.

Holzer, most fire extinguishers in a non-commercial setting are fine up to about 12 years. Most will say this on the sticker label. If it does not have external damage and the gauge is not bent, it should still be fine. The ones i worry about are the loose extinguishers in the bottom of a boat compartment or bed/toolbox of a truck. They are supposed to be securely mounted. If in doubt, take it to a local fire safety business and they should be happy to help, in not call me.
