Same with my 1998 H260
Mine are in almost the same locations as George's, except the one mounted near the steps is mounted much higher in my companionway. I have often thought, though, that it would be good to have one in a cockpit lazarette instead of the companionway. Hope that helps.

My H33.5 has 4
Different boat, different floorplan but I've got one mounted to the steering pedestal (with large hose clamps) because my engine is under the companionway and a fire there could prevent me from reaching in to the one in the galley. One in the aft cabin because there is only 1 way out (past the engine) and one in the forward cabin. I'm also planning on boring a 1" diameter hole (with cover) in the forward engine enclosure panel (behind the steps) so I can check the engine compartment and empty a fire eqtinguisher into it without completely removing it and exposing the rest of the boat to the flames. I might even put this "peep hole" in all 3 exposed sides of my engine compartment. Keep in mind the typical boat fire extinguisher will give you 10-15 seconds of discharge. That may not be enough, the more the merrier. Tom s/v Orion's Child

By Stairs & Cockpit
One is in the companionway by the stairs like George's. I put the second one in the cocpit port lazarette by attaching it to the emergency tiller with hose clamps.
