    RT198, 188 - fire extinguisher installations...

    All - I'm looking for some ideas on what type of fire extinguishers y'all have installed and where you installed them, hoping for some unique suggestions using a smaller extinguisher, or have you just resorted to the default location under the driver seat on the floor?

    Any specific hardware?

    Pictures are appreciated.

    Thanks...

    I screwed mine to the floor in the compartment in front of the console. Maybe, not the best spot if i need it quickly but I couldn't come up with a better location. I would have like it next to the drivers seat but there isn't enough room.

    I mounted mine under the drivers seat, to the box the seats mount to. If I need it, I know to just reach between my legs. Law enforcement likes that spot to as its easily visible. Makes boat checks go faster.

    I put mine beside the driver's seat. it fits snug between the seat and the wall below the throttle. Its also on its side so it doesn't settle to the bottom.

    Thanks guys, after looking 'er over I think I'll either do the under driver's seat or beside the driver's seat install. I'm gonna try to get a relatively small extinguisher - WAL*MART here I come...

    I installed mine right in front of my seat on the floor. Quick and easy to get to.
