I still dont invision it coming out on its own with out a real degree of jolting. I found it takes about about ten pound of lift to pull the extinguisher out of the cylinder with the three one inch square velcor pads.[/li][/ul] [center][/center] [left]for now I am calling the protective mount for the extingusher is finished. all that is needed is mounting it in the boat. just a couple more holes in the boat.
