Are these decals compliant with USCG regulations?
Yes, these 3-inch registration decals meet the height and block-style character requirements set by the U.S. Coast Guard for vessel identification.
How do I choose the right color for my boat?
USCG guidelines require that the registration numbers contrast with the background color of your vessel's hull. For example, use white decals on a dark hull and black or blue decals on a light hull.
Can I apply these decals to an inflatable boat or a textured surface?
These decals are designed for smooth, hard surfaces like fiberglass or painted aluminum. They may not adhere properly to flexible or heavily textured surfaces. For best results, the application surface must be clean and smooth.
Can I use these for my snowmobile registration?
Yes, while designed for marine use, the premium outdoor vinyl is durable enough for other applications like snowmobiles or DOT vehicle identification, provided the surface is appropriate for adhesion.
