Thank you Mohammad,

  Update here, I was able to get them refilled and hydro tested finally.  The problem they had was taking the valves off.  These fittings are not the normal ones this company was accustomed to servicing.  To their credit they kept at it and overcame the challenges.  I am feeling good about the fire suppression systems on board now.  I am going to look into changing these out for the Fire Boy system.

Hi,

 

We just serviced all fire extinguishers in Corfu including the manual and automatic engine room canisters. Did not run into any issues.

 

Happy Sailing;

Yes Eric, will shut down both engines and fans.

There is a override to let engines start afterwards. Manual cable release as well as heat.

We installed the fireboy system on Nebo sm251. Did it when we redid the engine room. It shuts down the fans and engine when activated.

Amelians,
  I have been reading through all the posts trying to sort out the engine room fire extinguishers.  The long skinny one on the stb side of the companion way that is manually actuated appears to be un- serviceable as the company trying to re cert it is unable to take the valve off to do hydro and refill.  I am not sure if they will be able to service the automatic one located in the port laz.  Has anyone been able to come up with a solution in the U.S. short of replacing the entire set up?  and if you did have to replace the set up, what did you come up with?

Appreciate any helpful advice,
