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). A 4-pound CO2 extinguisher or 6 quarts foam extinguisher may also be rated for USCG B-1 service. Powerboats over 26 feet may require additional extinguishers, as detailed in the related questions. Up to 26 feet: one B-I extinguisher; Over 26 but under 40 feet: two B-I extinguishers; Over 40 feet but not over 65 feet: three B-I.
