You don't need them in Canada but I have one for when I ride in the States in case I get checked. I don't think I'd ever be fumbling around to open a compartment below the water line (that usually requires tools to open anyway) when I could just flip the ski over in seconds.

PA law to have a working one on board; and i've been asked for it, along with whistle, and boat registration/ boating lisence.

I got a ticket for having one that the test valve didnt work on. Even after presenting a new extinguisher in court it only knocked the fine in half. From $150 to $75. You bet your a$$ I carry one.

Never. One, no after market hood holds a fire extinguisher. Two, are you really going to stick your hand into the area that is on fire?

The point of carrying one is to help out another boater if their equipement is on fire.

I haven't had one on any of my skis. I did see a guy in MN make a bracket that mounted behind his headpipe on the firewall of his SJ. It was tucked in pretty well. My guess is that it wouldn't come out very easily if he needed it. He had it on board, and that's all that counts, right?
