check those fire extinguishers , make sure they are accessible and the gauge shows green. My Neighbor got a ticket yesterday , lucky for him only a warning. Last winter , mine discharged in the cooler/seat. Made a mess, had to replace. I checked it this weekend , I am good.
good luck and be careful

I keep 3 on my boat. Had a fire once and the fire Extinguisher was in the fire. Would rather have more than I need than not be able to get to one.

I have 2. One is mounted below the drivers seat so it is easily accessible while one is in an enclosed compartment in the front of the boat.

Thanks for the reminder, I also have 2 of them in the boat. One on each side, front and rear so I should be able to get to at least one of them.

Check them for leakage also. Mine’s still well into the green, but it has a very minor leak. I have a faint yellow stain in the white Awlgrip under the nozzle. I’ll replace it and keep the leaking one in the garage until it’s depleted, in case I ever need it.
