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.

Thanks Jim. I'll check it out. The place in Rhode Island, assumming they
are still in business, might be just as close for me. I was just thinking
that now might be a good time to get this stuff done, rather than waiting
until spring when it gets busy.

I just refuse to go outside unless it's above 40 degrees.

40??!!?? That's summertime here! Kids wear shorts at the bus stop when it
gets that warm.

I'd be surprised if there isn't a place in New Bedord or Fairhaven
given the size of the comercial fishing fleet there. Here's one that
popped up on Google:

I.M.P. Fishing Gear, Ltd

New Bedford, MA 02740

A quick call to Fairhaven Shipyard would probably generate some leads
also. They are a first class operation:

Same with JTs in Newport, RI
