Fire Suppression System

[Sharpseadog]

I have a 2007 Mariner Seville Pilothouse 37 (Hellmsman 38. I have been considering installing an engine room fire suppression system. Due to the irregular shape of the engine room, I am not sure how many cubic feet of space I need to protect. Also wondering about expense. I know that engine and blower cut off is needed and that will affect installation costs. Can anyone advise on sizing and costs. Boat is located in Bellingham WA. Any recommendation for installer?

Are you gas or diesel ?

Diesel. To the best of my knowledge, the Mariner/Helmsman Yachts have never produced anything but diesel. All but one have been Cummins. The lone exception was one with a John Deer/Lugger.

I’m installing a Fireboy fire suppression system in my new Helmsman 38 Sedan, same hull as your boat.

Helmsman spec’d a 550 cu ft extinguisher bottle. All the parts for installation will cost about $3,000 (sourced from some place like Defender).

Installation costs will vary widely. Most of the quotes for labor I’ve gotten are in the $2,500-$3,500 range.
