There are only two or three certified SOLAS certified inspectors in CT
I was surprised to learn.

That's part of the problem. In addition to being a pain in the ass to
remove it and lug it off the boat, there's only a few places around here to
take it. I don't think there's any in MA. I'd have to take it to RI or CT.

If equipped, you are also supposed to have the automatic engine room fire
extinquishers weighed - every year, I think. Haven't done that for a while
either. The gauges read fine.
