Hello all - have yet another question about my relatively new (to me) 2006 Sundancer 44. To the left of the companion seat next at the helm, there is a molded opening at the corner which I am sure is for storing a fire extinguisher. On my boat that indent is there but no fire extinguisher, nor even a bracket or a mark showing where an extinguisher once was or where it belongs. I would like to aquire an extinguisher, but don't want to drill holes in the fiberglas to mount the unit. Anyone have any ideas how I can store an extinguisher at this location without drilling a hole or marring the finish in some other way? Thank you very much DHC

In my case I never mounted anything at that location.
The cavity is shaped to accept a fire extinguisher, an EPIRB or an electronic flare. However, the mounting bracket for any of those devices has a flat surface, for mounting onto a flat surface.
IMO a fire extinguisher will never be used on almost every boat. Mine are very handy in the cockpit, salon and galley, with labels on the exterior of the locker doors (when applicable) to ID the safety equipment contained within that closed door compartment.

gtstang462002@gmail.com "I will have to disagree with Winglass on his first comment(unless I am misunderstanding what he is trying to say) about never needing a fire extinguisher on a boat."
The words in my post represent my opinion, that almost every boater will never need their fire extinguisher.
It is unfortunate that the fire extinguisher in gtstang462002 friend's boat was placed too far from the helm to prevent it from being burned to the waterline. Fire is a serious risk and every action possible should be implemented for prevention, then immediate mitigation, if required.
As has been stated, mine is also at the helm, behind a labeled locker door. My concerns about mounting in that curved cavity are: increased rust; exposure to accidental contact damage and exposure to children playing w/ that device. Select the nearby location that best fits the needs of the boat.

Here is one for the smaller Kidde fire extinguishers.
