Troubleshooting & FAQ
What is the purpose of this decal?
This sticker is a visual indicator that your marine engine complies with California's "Ultra Low Emission" (3-Star) standards, which are the strictest in the industry. It is legally required for compliant engines operated in the state.
How do I know if my engine needs a 3-Star decal?
If your outboard engine was manufactured for the 2008 model year or later and is certified to meet CARB 3-Star standards, this decal is required for operation in California. Check your engine's documentation or contact the manufacturer to confirm its emission rating.
Where should the decal be placed?
It must be placed in a readily visible location. For outboard motors, this is typically on the back of the engine cowling. Per regulations, its shape and stars must be discernible from a distance of 100 feet.
What makes this decal suitable for marine use?
It is printed on waterproof vinyl with a high-tack adhesive to ensure it stays affixed in wet conditions. It is also UV coated and resistant to fuel, fading, and scratches.
