Does anyone know of the top of their heads, the cubic capacity of the 238/248 Vista engine compartment, I need it to order the correct size of Auto Fire Extinguisher. I could ask Four Winns, but you guys are usually quicker.

Hold on for a few minutes, I am getting out my boat bag and will give you the Fireboy part number for the OEM in my 248

Crap! My documentation covers numerous sizes and doesn't have the part number!

I'm not sure of the capacity but I have a Fireboy - Xintex , part number CG2-125-FE241( Fireboy FE241 System ). It cost me $165 in 06 direct from Fireboy. It was a replacement for one that I had and could not refill. This one can be refilled. I have a 238.

I think the 25 in the 125 might stand for the size (25 cubic feet) which I believe is the size they start at. Of course that's me making a lot of assumptions and you know how that goes!

If you need to me to check mine I can, it's just a PITA :)

According to Fireboy-Xintex site the one Alexj is using (CG2-125-FE241) protects 125 Cubic Feet, which seems a bit overkill to me, but, far better to overkill than to "nearly" put the fire out.
That model retails over here in the UK at over $700 :cry:
Think I'll try an alternative make.
Thanks all.
