The U.S. Coast Guard has published new requirements for fire extinguishers that take effect in April, 2022. You’re going to need extinguishers rated at 5-B:C or 10-5:C (or greater) which will work on any boat. If your boat is model year 2017 or older, you may use extinguishers rated B:C, size 1 or 2. If you are using the disposable type of extinguisher, make sure it is less than 12 years old.
