Is anyone aware of a present day fire extinguisher that will fit the circa 1985 bracket, PB275? I'd like to find one that fits to avoid drilling more holes in my teak extinguisher box.
Thank you

I'm not sure, but apparently SSI Custom Plastics made the original fire extinguisher pockets for the whalers. I bet if you contact them they'll have an idea of what fire extinguisher you need or at least the dimensions.

I don't know of any that will fit the original bracket.
The American LaFrance was original but no longer available.
I also have another brand that will fit but it is no longer available.

Thanks Joe. Sounds like I'll be drilling a couple more holes. bummer.

You can always drill the new holes, and then drill out and fit teak plugs into the old ones.
