My boat has 4 fire extinguishers and a permanent suppression system. It is a 2020 boat so 4 years old. I had the suppression system checked last year and they tagged the system and the hand held extinguishers with a dated tag june 2024. I am confused with what the rules are. I read the coast guard is looking at the date on the bottom of the device but now that i have these tags i am being lead to believe its an annual thing . I did take the extinguishers in for new tags but am wondering if i don't want these tags on them at all.
If boarded is the coast guard going to look at the tag or the manufactured date.
