Need to buy a fire extinguisher for our X1. Is a dry chemical ABC-rated extinguisher the standard way to go? (I forget which kind was in our previous boat). Also, do any of you in addition to the portable extinguisher also have a fixed system in the engine compartment? I think gaseous extinguishers will be a lot more effective in there, provided a closed engine hatch? Do I have it right that there are simple versions that just need to be mounted in the engine room without any wiring? Any recommendations or pics would be much appreciated. Thank you.
