USCG Approved? Looking for small fire extinguisher to carry on board inflatable raft.

I have it on my 16' ski/fish boat. On the side it has a pic of a car rv and a boat so hopefully its coast guard approved

No it doesn't come with fluid in it. It would be illegal to transport a flammable gas inside a container that could possibly ignite & blow up during transport. Endangering a parcel carrier would be a bad thing, besides it might encourage he/she to go postal. Lol

I would check out the standards at UL here: http://ul.com/. Amerex is a well respected brand in the fire safety business is all I can tell you.

I would recommend having a VHF. You should have redundant systems for communication. Cell phones are awesome but they can fail. You can talk to the coast guard on the vhf, especially if they are searching for you at night or in fog. You can also contact vessel assist on VHF. You can contact marinas and fuel docks on VHF. Learn the different channels where all these services are available and you have a whole new way to communicate. Not to mention you get 24hr continuous NOAA weather reports on your little VHF. My opinion....

I used this cooler raft on a float with about 40 people. Because of the large number of rafts we were filling we used an air compressor. :)

According to the instructions, it should only be used for marine batteries when off the boat. If operated in a confined space it could cause an explosion.

This is exactly the same stuff I used to buy at the boating supply store to make rafts with. It foams as described in the product literature. It is much like the foam-in-a-can you get at Lowes. Be aware that it gets very hot (I measured it at 150 degrees) as it cures, and it does not come off your skin easily!

Sure you can pull it with any type water craft, but why? Maybe just to relocate it and then anchor it. The intent of this vessel is a "PARTY ISLAND" not for "WHITE WATER RAFTING". My friends drift on the lake, wherever the wind and waves take them, then get in the water and swim/push it home when they've had enough sun. "CAUTION" a sea anchor/drogue on a short tether is a must, you definitely don't want the "ISLAND" moving faster than you can swim. Don't forget your PFDs.

Yes; it would have to go in check in luggage. I ended not taking it because the size of the curling barrel was too big. the box says 1 1/2 inches but tape measue around barrel is 5 inches. Planned to return it, but web site stated unable to mail flammable items...................

It should be okay to transport by boat, the raft is pretty light. It is a bit difficult to roll up when you don't have much room, so you might have to drag it back to the dock behind the boat.

You will need a pump. This has a separate air bladder and shell. The bladder requires some pressure to make the boat still, and you cannot blow enough pressure with your lungs to do a good job. I bought a different brand of pump because it was cheaper. It works well, but the fit on the valves is a little tight, so I recommend you purchase the Advanced elements brand pump. Read the instructions before unpacking. Follow the instructions. With the presure right, the inside acts as a backrest, and the paddling effort is ok. If it is too soft, no back support, and paddleing is rather slow. Follow the instructions, and it is a nice compromise of cost, convenient storage, and efficiency.

As others have said, You'd have to get the big tank. It comes with a hose & regulator(which is necessary), which will only connect to the big tank. I've seen emergency adapters that will allow you to connect the regulator to a canister but, this campfire would go through a canister way too fast. You wouldn't be happy.

Yes! It sure is! Wouldn't have purchased it if it wasn't Coast Guard approved. In fact, if your life vests are not approved by the Coast Guard, they can ticket you! I'd rather be safe than sorry with a great life vest for an infant.

It is not that large and is meant for signal only. So now it will not serve as a safety raft or keep someone afloat. You are better off fully inflating your BCD instead.
