[Rhodes22-list] Mounting Compass, Fire Extinguisher

[Ronald Lipton]

My boat has the fire extinguisher mounted on the bulkhead under
the sink.  It also has a companionway board with a compass and
the depth sounder/knotmeter readout.  I am planning to change
the setup - I invariably trip over if when I need to go into the cabin.
I have seen a version that swings out from the side of the companionway
somewhere.

I hope to be at the boat on Wednsday and will take some pictures.

> I have reviewed the FAQ and list topics on mounting a compass. Mention is
made of mounting the compass on a removeable board -apparently in the
companionway -but there are no details. One of the pictures showed a compass
mounted in the Galley, on the bulkhead separating the head and galley. Was
the idea to see it from the cockpit? Is the reluctance to mount one in the
cockpit a matter of not wanting to put a "hole" in the fiberglass?

and none of the pictures on the organization pages showed an extinguisher.
My understanding is that the extinguisher must be mounted to pass a Coast
Guard inspection.
