∙ 11y agoAt least one USCG-approved Class B-1 fire extinguisher is required on any powerboat, unless it is under the following exception:
- "motorboats less than 26 feet in length,
- propelled by outboard motors and
- not carrying passengers for hire, need not carry such portable fire extinguishers if
- the construction of such motorboats will not permit the entrapment of explosive or flammable gases or vapors" [bullets added]
A UL-listed 5-B:C extinguisher, with 2 pounds of dry chemical, may provide the basis for the extinguisher, but it must ALSO conform to USCG-approvals (proper corrosion protection, labeling, mounting bracket, etc).

∙ 11y agoSize is only one factor in whether or not a boat needs a fire extinguisher. The primary consideration is whether it is a motorboat.
Under Canadian Coast Guard rules, any powerboat or other boat with liquid or gas fueled cooking or heating needs at least one Class B-1 fire extinguisher if it is under 8 meters, and more for larger boats.
US Coast Guard regulations require at least one B-1 fire extinguisher on most motorboats under 26 feet, including personal water craft (PWC).
