CAPACITY PLATE
The capacity plate
is
used by boat manufacturers, such as Correct Craft, Inc.,
participating
in
the National Marine Manufacturers Association Certification Program.
Manufacturers submit
an
example of every model under
26
feet in lenth for inspection.
A capacity plate bears the following information permanently marked thereon and
is
attached to the boat so
as
to be visible and legible from the position designed or normally
intended to be occupied by the operator of the vehicle when underway.
The total weight of persons, gear and other articles placed aboard which
the vessel
is
capable of carrying safely under normal conditions.
The maximum number of persons allowed
on
the boat.
The information appearing on the capacity plate
is
applicable under normal conditions and
special care must be used
in
any other than normal conditions.
Check the capacity plate on your boat and please abide by these limits to assure safety
for yourself and other boat occupants thereby enjoying the pleasure of boating with the
least possible risk.
