∙ 11y agoNone, if it does not have a motor or any flammable liquids aboard.
At least one (1) Type B-1, USCG-approved extinguisher must be aboard a powerboat that is not otherwise exempt.
To be exempt, it would also be limited to a Class A or Class 1 (under 26 feet), open construction (no enclosed spaces), an outboard motor, and not carrying passengers for hire.
USCG Regulations 46 CFR 25.30.

∙ 11y agoAt least one USCG-approved Class B-1 fire extinguisher is required on any powerboat, unless it is under the following exception:
- "motorboats less than 26 feet in length,
- propelled by outboard motors and
- not carrying passengers for hire, need not carry such portable fire extinguishers if
- the construction of such motorboats will not permit the entrapment of explosive or flammable gases or vapors" [bullets added]
A UL-listed 5-B:C extinguisher, with 2 pounds of dry chemical, may provide the basis for the extinguisher, but it must ALSO conform to USCG-approvals (proper corrosion protection, labeling, mounting bracket, etc).
