Boat Registration Number Decals – Fits All Watercraft & Jet Skis (Meets USCG Requirements)

Ensure your watercraft is compliant with our marine-grade registration number decals. These are required for all registered motorboats and personal watercraft (PWC) in the United States. Available in multiple colors, they are designed to meet federal and state regulations that mandate 3-inch block letters and numbers in a color contrasting with your hull.

These decals are for creating custom registration numbers to comply with boating laws. They are not direct replacements for existing manufacturer decals.

• Easy Installation: Features a self-adhesive vinyl backing with transfer tape for a smooth application.
• Durable Material: Made from marine-grade vinyl with a UV-resistant coating to prevent fading and withstand harsh marine environments.

Installation Guide

Follow these steps to ensure your registration numbers are applied correctly and meet regulatory requirements:

1. Prepare Surface: Thoroughly clean and dry the application area on the hull to ensure the adhesive bonds properly. The surface should be free of wax, dirt, and oils.
2. Position Decals: The registration number must be displayed on both sides of the bow, in the forward half of the vessel.
3. Check Alignment: Arrange the letters and numbers to be read from left to right. Ensure there is proper spacing between characters, typically a space or hyphen's width.
4. Confirm Contrast & Size: The selected decal color must contrast with the color of your boat’s hull. All characters must be plain, vertical, block-style letters, and at least 3 inches tall.
5. Apply the Decals (Dry Method): Carefully peel the backing paper off and apply the decal with the transfer tape. Press firmly from the center outwards to remove air bubbles, then slowly peel away the transfer tape.
6. (Optional) Wet Method: For easier repositioning, you can lightly spray the hull with a mix of water and a drop of soap. Apply the decal, squeegee out the water, and allow it to dry completely before removing the transfer tape.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I ensure these decals meet legal requirements?
