Kidde Mariner 10 B:C Marine Fire Extinguisher, USCG 5-B Rated, Stainless Steel and Aluminum, 21030898K
The Kidde Mariner 10 is a USCG 5-B rated marine fire extinguisher built for use aboard recreational vessels. Carrying a UL rating of 10-B:C, it is designed for Class B flammable liquid fires and Class C energized electrical equipment fires, the two hazards most common in boat engine compartments and galleys. The Mariner 10 is a dry chemical extinguisher, holding a 2.5 pound agent charge that discharges over 8 to 11 seconds when activated.
Construction combines stainless steel and aluminum for corrosion resistance in the marine environment, supporting a 12 year service life and warranty. The unit is tested to 300 psi and rated for operation across a wide temperature range of -40 F to 120 F (-40 C to 49 C), so it performs reliably in cold storage lockers or hot engine spaces. A polymer mounting bracket is included for convenient wall installation and quick access in an emergency.
One Mariner 10 (5-B rating) meets the USCG minimum requirement for boats under 26 feet. Boats 26 to 40 feet require two 5-B rated extinguishers (or one 20-B), and boats 40 to 65 feet require three 5-B rated extinguishers (or two 20-B), so larger vessels may need multiple units or a higher-rated extinguisher.
