Today I went to replace my “in the red” Kidde Marine fire extinguisher with a new Kidde (same model), but alas.... the new Kidde has a different trigger mechanism that is just tall enough so it no longer fits into the cubby of my 1998 Dauntless 15.
Has any one got any suggestions for a fix or am I just stuck with putting the extinguisher inside the console?

I found the white ones are shorter, don't remember the brand.


24 Whalers so far....

This was the white Kidde one, I’ll have to look at another brand.

Well.... I did the simple solution, replaced the larger 10BC extinguisher with the smaller 5BC. Hope I never have to use either one.
