[Rhodes22-list] Location for Installing a Fire extinguisher

[Michael D. Weisner]

Caesar,

We mounted our fire extinguisher on the port side of the cabin, just inside 
on the bulkhead that separates the cabin from the cockpit, alongside the 
companionway door, next to the poptop support.  On our '81 R22 there is a 
substantial piece of plywood (3/4", I think) between the two fiberglass 
panels, giving us a good way to secure the holder to the inside fiberglass 
panel.  We felt that this would permit us to use it if trapped in the cabin 
to get out or to easily retrieve it from the cockpit in the event of an 
engine fire.  Just make sure that the mount is high enough off the cushion 
so that it doesn't interfere with sitting or sleeping.  Also, look for 
interference and clearance from the poptop support.

Hi Rhodies,
I am looking for a great place to install a fire extinguisher in my Rhodes 
22.
Any suggestions? Where are yours installed?
Thanks,
Caesar
