a valid certificate of number whenever the vessel is in use.
When moving to a new state of principal use, the certificate is
valid for 60 days. Check with your state boating authority for
registration requirements.
Numbers must be painted or permanently attached to each
side of the forward half of the vessel. The validation stickers
must be affixed within six inches of the registration number.
With the exception of the vessel fee decal, no other letters
or numbers may be displayed nearby. Lettering must be in
plain, vertical block characters of not less than three (3) inches
in height. Spaces or hyphens between letter and number
groupings must be equal to the width of a letter other than “i”
or a number other than “1.”
The owner of a vessel must notify the agency which issued
the certificate of number within fifteen (15) days if the vessel
is transferred, destroyed, abandoned, lost, stolen or recovered,
or if the certificate of number is lost, destroyed or the owner’s
address changed. If the certificate of number becomes
invalid for any reason, it must be surrendered in the manner
prescribed to the issuing authority within 15 days.

retrieve parts for maintaining your engines.
