As per NFPA 10:
Extinguishers with a gross weight not exceeding 40 pounds should be installed so that the top of the extinguisher is not more than 5 feet above the floor.
Extinguishers with a gross weight greater than 40 pounds, except wheeled types, should be installed so that the top of the extinguisher is not more than 3 feet above the floor.
In no case can the clearance between the bottom of the extinguisher and the floor be less than 4 inches.

As per NFPA 10 Guidelines Larger extinguishers, those weighing more than 40 pounds or more,To make them more accessible--by not making the user have to lift them down from too high a mounting bracket--the NFPA Standard dictates that the top of these heavy weights can be no more than 3-1/2 feet from the floor.
But if you have any damaged extinguisher then you can sell it on Halon.us.

What is the proper height to mount a fire extinguisher, as per BIS India

The height limit for installation, as determined by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), is 60 inches for fire extinguishers weighing less than 40 pounds. However, compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) also needs to be followed within the United States. The ADA height limit of the fire extinguisher, as measured at the handle, is 48 inches. Fire extinguisher installations are also limited to protruding no more than 4 inches into the adjacent path of travel. The ADA rule states that any object adjacent to a path of travel cannot project more than 4 inches if the object's bottom leading edge is higher than 27 inches. The 4 inch protrusion rule was designed to protect people with low-vision and those who are blind. The height limit rule of 48 inches is primarily related to access by people with wheelchairs, but it is also related to other disabilities as well. Prior to 2012, the height limit was 54 inches for side-reach by wheel chair accessible installations. Installations made prior to 2012 at the 54 inch height are not required to be changed.

Yes, you do in fact have to mount the fire extinguisher(s) on a boat. The number of extinguishers, their type and size varies with the length of the boat, so, the Coast Guard puts out a pamphlet explaining this regulation. The U.S. Power Squadron and most marine dealers have this information available.
