Portable Fire Extinguisher

Fire Suppression Equipment

If your Nautique is equipped with a fixed automatic fire extinguisher, it is mounted in the engine compartment. This type of extinguisher is activated when a heat-sensitive head reaches a pre-determined temperature. The extinguisher discharges to displace oxygen in the engine compartment to smother the fire. Make sure the extinguisher is charged properly before operating the boat.
