If your pushbutton pindicator model is used with a personal watercraft, Kidde does not currently have an exact replacement for it, but will provide a replacement that is U. Coast Guard rated and similar in size. While it may not fit in the same location as your current extinguisher, there may be another place on the watercraft where the extinguisher can be stored or mounted.
