Would several small ones, placed strategically around the boat, be better
than one (or 2) big one?

Does it make a difference if they are hung horizontally, as far as the
caking?

You're an even bigger fool than your repartee would suggest, and
you can't read either. What hammer? WHat hit? Throw away good
extinguishers because the powder has caked slightly? My
extinguishers come in at about $150 each, which is what you pay
for size and ruggedness (say, $US70). You want to play with weeny
toys and bet your life on them, go right ahead. I'm sure you
could find some 1/4lb extinguishers on ebay, secondhand, for $5
if you looked hard enough.

For other readers: 6 months is enough for the powder to cake
significantly, even with a bit of a shake from time to time. The
how-to given IN FULL in my original post is straight out of
commercial (and professional) practice.
