Extinguishment of Engine Compartment Fires in Recreational Boats
This report documents the evaluation of the Port Method' of extinguishing engine compartment fires in recreational boats. In this method, the operator directs the extinguisher discharge into the engine compartment through a normally closed, but easily opened, port. The tests were conducted in full scale mockups of the aft sections of inboard/outdrive box type, inboard/outdrive across-the-stern, and the inboard flush hatch engine compartment configurations. Benefits of this method include confinement of heat and flame to the engine compartment, the limitation of oxygen to the fire, and greater effectiveness from handheld fire extinguishers. (Author)
