Alloy doesn't burn, so mine is somewhere in the box built on the front of my console knocking 'round.

Mine is stowed under the pax seat with a label on the box pointing the way...having it 'knocking around' isn't my idea of a good way of doing it...especially if I happened to get boarded by our friendly USCG and they found out that I was also licensed even if it is my private boat. In my thinking, it should be someplace in good condition, with a current charge and easily accessible even if it is an UNINSPECTED passenger vessel! Good luck to you if you need it in a hurry! I say this after having been thru a 3 day Advanced Firefighting School in December last and this is on top of of doing STCW-BST. Capt PJ
