that pose a potential fire hazard. Type B fire extinguishers are specifically designed to handle flammable liquids such as gasoline, oil, and petroleum-based products. It is a safety requirement to have this type of extinguisher on board to mitigate the risk of fires in marine environments.

∙ 11y agoUSCG regulations do not require any B-II extinguishers on pleasure vessels up to 65 feet or 1,000 bhp, unless it is a passenger-carrying motor vessel.
However, where two or more B-I extinguishers are required, a B-II may be substituted for two B-Is, although it is a very bad idea to increase the risk that one extinguisher may malfunction and you would not have any backup.
Canadian regulations are somewhat different and require at least one B-II for any motor vessel over 8 meters or any other vessel that large, if there is a gas or liquid-fueled heating or cooking system aboard.
