Someone here on the forum worked (works?) for or at least was familiar with the Amerex products, and pointed out the damage that would be done with the typical fire extinguisher included with our boats.
The Halotron was suggested for the ability to cause less or no damage to the electrical or electronic systems to hopefully mitigate the excess damage beyond what a fire would cause.
It's time to buy, and add to the boat this year. My question is about the size - I can source a 1.4lb, or a 5lb. Obviously, these are FAR more expensive than the throw-in extinguishers, so I'm not keen on the 5lb price, but does the 1.4lb seem sufficient?
Wondering if 2 of the 1.4lb tanks might be a decent compromise for the same price, but added ability to bring more to the emergency, while still allowing me to reserve or preserve an extinguisher if it's not necessary
Has anyone had a need to use one as well?
