Where should you always keep your fire extinguisher on a boat?

  1. In the engine compartment

  2. In a locked cabinet

  3. In a convenient and easily accessible location

  4. Under the captain's seat

The correct answer is: In a convenient and easily accessible location

A is incorrect because the heat and vibrations from the engine can damage the fire extinguisher and make it unreliable. B is incorrect because in case of an emergency, you may not have enough time or access to unlock a cabinet and retrieve the extinguisher. D is incorrect because the captain's seat may not always be easily accessible and could potentially become an obstacle in case of an emergency. In general, it is important to always keep a fire extinguisher in a convenient and easily accessible location, such as on the deck or in the cockpit. This ensures quick and easy access in the event of a fire on the boat.
