T&T: Fwd: "Marine" vs. regular fire extinguishers

[tbehan6468@aol.com]

>From what I can tell the only difference is that the 'marine' ones need to be mounted in that bracket that will come in the box and be permanently attached to the vressel. That's assuming they are the correct size and rating.
 
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Does anybody know the difference between a "marine" ABC fire extinguisher 
and a "non-marine" ABC fire extinguisher of the exact same size and 
propellant? Please tell me it's something more than the color of the case, 
if indeed there is a substantial difference.
