If you don't have a fire extinguisher on your boat, you should. It's required in some states. If your FE is a Kidde model and fairly new, it may be in line for a recall. Mine was.
Here's what to check. If you have a loser you'll need to call: (855) 283-7991 and have the model number, the serial number and the date code and they'll send you a new one.


Name of Product: Items affected are Kidde brand, black plastic Zytel® nylon valve disposable extinguishers both ABC and BC rated models manufactured between July 23, 2013 and October 15, 2014 and sold between August 2013 and November 2014. The affected fire extinguishers are white or red in color and are either ABC or BC-rated. The Kidde logo and serial number are located on the nameplate. The date code is an ink jet 10-digit number stamped on the side of the cylinder near the bottom. Digits 5-9 of this number convey the day and year of manufacture. Affected units will have the following five digits in a date code:

2013: XXXX20413X through XXXX36513X
2014: XXXX00114X through XXXX28814X

The models are as follows:
46-0066 FC5 KFH
46-0092 FH/ RESSP M10G
AUTO FX11 FS10 M10GM
AUTO FX511 FS110 M110
BC5GD FS5 M110G
