Halon 1211 or dry chemical? You be the judge! Halon 1211 is the most effective and fastest working fire extinguishing agent currently available for use in portable fire extinguishers. It is odorless, colorless, non-conductive, non-corrosive, leaves no residue and works on all types of fires. It will not damage expensive engine and electrical parts, carburetors, etc. and requires no clean up! Halon 1211 stops the fire chemically, in a matter of seconds. It can be expelled up to 15 feet from the source of the fire. How many of these properties can dry chemical extinguishers claim? Isn't your expensive boat or vehicle worth the best protection available? Isn't it worth Halon 1211 protection?

Halon 1211 can no longer be manufactured due to environmental regulations. However, recycled Halon is available and absolutely legal to purchase. At print time, we have a large supply of 950 104105 chrome extinguishers in stock and they are still refillable using recycled Halon 1211.

NOT ALL BILLET EXTINGUISHER BRACKETS ARE ALIKE

Although most are attractive looking, that's where the similarities end. The real thing you should be looking for in addition to good looks is functionality. Compare these features and you'll see why the only wise choice is a Hardin Marine Billet Bracket. First the Hardin Marine bracket lets the extinguisher push straight in and pull straight out while other style brackets require you slide in from the end of the bracket allowing limited mounting locations. Also the Hardin Marine bracket has built-in nylon adjustment pads to create a rattle free extinguisher, another feature missing from other brands. Lastly the 4-3/8" x 2" rectangular mounting pad allows you to use four attaching fasteners, something a round pad doesn't offer. So if you would like the best built, best functioning, and best looking extinguisher bracket ask for the Hardin Marine bracket by name.

If you've ever witnessed a burning boat there's not many more harrowing sites than seeing fellow boaters, and their family members attempting to put out an uncontrollable fire. Unfortunately the unsuspecting people didn't know because it was under the engine hatch. As an engine hatch is opened on a burning fire the oxygen rushes in to expand the fire. Well if you're the kind of boater that never wants to experience this then you'll want the security of an automatic fire suppression system. These thermostatically controlled USCG Approved systems can be mounted horizontally or vertically. Simply calculate the cubic feet of your engine compartment and choose from one of the systems below. These systems are economical and remember, the life you save may be your own.
