I have another mounted at the same position at the helm.

Mine has sat in the side storage since I took delivery. I haven't drilled any holes to mount it permanently because the law seems pretty vague and up for interpretation. What do they really mean by "accessible"? I want it out of the way, but I doubt tucked down on the side wall of the floor storage compartment would pass a safety check. |

Mine is under the helm or steering wheel to the left of the slanted foot rest. I would have probably put it to the right but either place works for me. |

Ours is not mounted. It's stored in side the cabin door on the shelf above the "small" closet aft of the head. We passed 5 inspections with flying colors. At least for us, it does not need to be mounted. Coast Guard just wanted to see it, have it "readily accessible", and not be expired. I do believe it is most accessible closest to the captain as possible, but not in the way. I need to mount ours, just haven't done it yet. |

My 260 has one mounted under the helm as well. It is mounted parallel to the helm just above the carpet. The dealer mounted it. Actually a pretty good spot out of the way but accessible. I also have one "loose" behind the seat back under the helm. |

Down at floor level directly below and a bit forward of the throttle. Plus the FireBoy in the engine compartment. |

Mine is mount like most here it seems, under the helm on the left side of the foot rest area. Mike |

You can just barely see it in the picture, but sounds like same as most everyone else. Either FourWinns or PhilDill put it there, I didn't. But, It's a good location.
