Fire Extinguisher Location

[bartender66]

Hi All,
We purchased a new 22 Cruiser this past September and are still in the process of outfitting & customizing. I am looking for suggestions on where to hang the fire extinguisher. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have mine just inside the door on the starboard side.

Same as Luna C. It just fit on the right side of the
cabinet door a little below the counter top.
Its just inside the door and easily accessible
from the cockpit

Same for me. And I have a second one in the port lazzerette.

One to the right of the Captain's leg (while seated), one (big guy) above the water tank under the cushion of the chair across from the Wallas, one in the cockpit by the port lazzerette. This way I figure I have one nearby no matter where I'm at, having read about too many boats destroyed by fire.

My orginal mount was in front of the Captains seat (delaer installed) right leg. But it did not allow me to open the small compartment at the footrest. I moved and mounted the fire extinquiser on the instide wall in the cabin just above the door. I used a 1x4 piece of oak, stained it to match the other "woodwork", and used the mounting screws that hold the header above the door. It is secure, accessable, visable, and mid cabin. You won't hit your head on it and out of the way from hitting your knees.
If you go to the Swee Pea album you will see what I did. It works for me.

Hey Swee Pea John,
How do you like the cobb bbq? I have seen it on the web and woundered how it works. Looks very useable on a C-Dory.

Thanks,

The Cobb grille works great. Just received the frypan and wok combo. In addtion, they came out with a special briquette that is clean and easy. In addition, it cooks cool to the touch, no open flame, no dripping grease. I even figured a way to mount it via a magma bbq holder.
Lastly, you can remove the grille and use it at home, on the beach, use it on trips, bake with it etc. And it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Thanks everybody for all of the tips & ideas Swee Pea, I just happen to have a piece of 1x4 oak in the basement! Did you buy an off the shelve stain, or did you mix your own?

[Swee Pea]

I used an off the shelf stain, but I don't remember the color. It may not be perfectly matched, but its close enough for government work. (no offense to government workers). If you have a router, you can sweeten up the edges. Good luck!

For a stain color, MinWax Natural Teak works well on white or red oak if you wipe it fairly soon after application. Has the right red tone.

Mine is located to the right of the door on the outside of the rear bulkhead, just below the window. Quick access in the middle of the boat if needed.

We put 2 on our 22. One just inside the cabin doorala some of the others here. But we also put one in the berth,agianst the wall on the port side.
Just a hint ,when you put them in mount them laying on their side. If they are mounted in a verticle position, the retardent will settle and cake on the bottom of the unit, and clog the feed tube and may not fire off without vigorous shaking.
