Fireboy manual cable

Postby Metterdvm » July 25th, 2021, 4:35 pm

Hello all,
I was checking out the Fireboy fire suppression system on my 2003 356 and everything looks good, but I discovered that there is a cable attached to manually activate the system. The problem is that I cannot for the life of me find the control knob for that cable. I have looked everywhere. The cable routes from the extinguisher back to the aft port side of the engine compartment and then goes up somewhere. Anybody have any idea where the knob is located? It seems like it would be in a readily accessible location, but I’ve come up empty. Any ideas?

Hopefully someone with the same model will chime in. Have you checked all the cupboards in the back deck, cockpit, helm? I've also seen them mounted somewhere around the helm. Usually they're in plain site.

Like Viper said they should be in plain site for easy, immediate access and usually at the helm. Bad picture but here you can see mine, bottom left side beside the speaker, red thingamadohicky.

Thanks for the replies! I too would assume it would be in a readily accessible location. I’ve looked in every cabinet and cubby hole. I wonder if the installation was never completed from the factory.
