I'm a huge fan of element extinguishers and unfortunately have had to use them. Weather safe, small, and durable; but expensive:

They are made in Italy and certified in the EU for marine use by RINA

A lot of classic car owners carry those as well. Great choice.

Are the Element certified for marine use in the US?

The guy that re-certifies mine is based out of a garage in Tacoma, he has tons of used/recertified units for sale. PM me if you want his contact details.

On the subject of portable fire extinguishers, including details on the new reg's.
https://stevedmarineconsulting.com/p...created-equal/
Among other things, I would include at least one gaseous, clean agent extinguisher, (FM200 or equivalent) for extinguishing small electrical or electronic/dashboard, wiring harness fires.

I read the article and there was no mention of the Element nor “Element-like” extinguisher. I carry 4 ABC extinguishers and a fixed system in the ER plus a fire blanket.
I am thinking of getting a Element to add to the ‘tools’
