T&T: Fire extinguishers and Vacustink

[JSpence47 at aol.com]

Look in the phone book to get your fire extinguishers checked. They usually  
charge a couple of bucks per extinguishers and place a tag on it. 
 
The air vent line is probably plugged on your holding tank.

All the  fire extinguishers on my recently purchased boat (4 hand and one
automatic  Halon in engine room) are expired.  Dumb question, but do they
need to  be replaced, or can they somehow be tested and recertified?  The
boat  is six years old and all the gauges show full.

And on a completely  unrelated note, I've noticed lately that there's
quite a foul odor after  flushing my vacuflush head.  The odor permeates
the cabin rather  quickly.  The holding tank is only about 1/2 full and
I'm using  Sealand's recommended additive.  Otherwise the thing seems to
work  fine.  I don't see any leakage around the tank and the odor
disipates  a few minutes after flushing.  Any idea what's going  on?

TIA
