Best Answer

Motorboats between 26 and 40 feet must have two B-I extinguishers.B-I is either 2 pounds dry chem, 4 pounds CO2 or 6 quarts foam. NOTE: According to US Coast Guard regulations. 46 CFR 25.30.

NOTE: When a fixed fire extinguisher system is installed in the machinery space(s), it will replace one B-I type portable extinguisher.

Under Canadian CG regs, it would need one Class B-II extinguisher, even if it is not a motorboat, if it has liquid or gas-fueled heating or cooking aboard, for boats 8 to 12 meters (26.2 to 39.4 feet). A B-II is a 5-pound dry chemical with proper approval labels.

Canadian regulations have the same requirement for powerboats 8 to 12 meters, or for any boat that size with liquid or gas-fueled heating or cooking.

If it is not a powerboat, but it has liquid or gas-fueled heat or cooking, under Canadian regulations it would still need at least one Class B-II extinguisher, if it is over 8 meters (26.2 ft) and under 12 meters (39.4 ft). If it were exactly 26 ft, it would only need one class B-1 extinguisher.
