Installation Requirements (not included):
- Clean surface for application
- Straightedge for alignment (recommended)
Installation Guide
- Choose a location on the front half (bow) of your vessel, above the waterline on both sides.
- Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of wax, grease, or dirt. Use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse and dry completely.
- Federal law requires the color of your numbers to contrast with your hull color for clear visibility.
- The characters must be block-style and at least 3 inches in height.
- Use a straightedge or masking tape to create a level guideline for applying the decals.
- Space your characters correctly according to your state's regulations. Typically, this is a hyphen or an equivalent space between letter and number groups (e.g., ST-1234-AB).
- Carefully peel each character from its paper backing.
- Apply the decals one by one, pressing firmly from the center outwards to smooth them down and remove any air bubbles.
- Once all characters are applied, you can remove the top application tape if your kit includes it.
- Allow the adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours before exposing the vessel to water.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I ensure these decals comply with legal requirements?
Federal law requires registration numbers to be placed on the front half of the boat in a contrasting color and be at least 3 inches high. Always check your specific state regulations for detailed spacing and formatting rules before application.
Will these stickers work on my plastic (roto-molded) kayak or PWC?
These decals are designed for smooth, non-porous surfaces like fiberglass. For plastic or roto-molded hulls, stencils and paint may provide a more durable solution, as high-tack adhesives may not bond as effectively to textured or low-energy surfaces.
How resistant are these decals to the marine environment?
They are made from marine-grade vinyl with a protective UV coating, making them highly resistant to water, fuel, salt, and scratches. The high-tack adhesive is designed for long-term durability in typical marine conditions.
