Default Fire Extinguisher

Does anyone have a good idea on how and where a fire extinguisher should be mounted on a T-Top. I have a 23' Cobia w/T-Top. Thanks

It's better if you mount them horizontal, it makes it easier to shake them up after being compacted from running hard and pounding.

Good comment D/E.
The powder in a Fire Extinguisher will pack down over time.
The powder inside has to be "Fluffed up" to work properly.
Lightly tapping the bottom on a concrete floor will fluff the powder inside, or you can beat it with a rubber hammer.

Cool part of owning a Plate Alloy boat.......You can bang stuff on the deck.
