Kidde rates the current Mariner series at 12X greater corrosion resistance compared with industry saltwater test standards, making the MAR5 specifically suited to marine and outdoor applications.
What Types of Fires Does the MAR5 Fight?
The MAR5 uses BC dry chemical agent and carries a 5-B:C rating:
- Class B: Flammable-liquid and gas hazards such as gasoline, oil and similar fuels.
- Class C: Fires involving energized electrical equipment.
The MAR5 is a BC extinguisher and does not carry a Class A rating. If protection is also required for ordinary combustible materials such as wood, paper or textiles, select an extinguisher with an appropriate Class A rating.
Where Is the Kidde MAR5 Best Used?
- Recreational boats
- Fishing boats
- Powerboats and motorized watercraft

U.S. Coast Guard Approved for Marine Use
Kidde identifies the MAR5 as U.S. Coast Guard approved when used with its UL-approved strap bracket. The included bracket allows the extinguisher to be securely mounted in an accessible location aboard a boat or watercraft.
Fire extinguisher quantity, size, rating and mounting requirements can vary according to vessel type, size and applicable regulations. Confirm the fire extinguisher requirements for your specific boat or watercraft before installation.
12-Year Service-Free Design
The MAR5 is a single-use fire extinguisher with a 12-year service-free design. Under NFPA 10, single-use extinguishers do not require the six-year internal examination required for certain rechargeable extinguishers.
Service-free does not mean inspection-free. Required external inspections and corrective actions still apply. The extinguisher should also be replaced after discharge or if inspection reveals damage, corrosion, pressure loss or another condition requiring replacement.
