Installation Guide
For best results, apply these decals to a clean, smooth, and dry surface. Most state authorities require numbers to be displayed on both sides of the bow in a color that contrasts with the hull.
-
Prepare the Surface: Thoroughly clean the application area with soap and water or rubbing alcohol to remove any dirt, wax, or grime. Allow the surface to dry completely.
-
Position the Decal: Carefully measure and position the decal on the hull. Use masking tape to create a hinge at the top, holding it in place.
-
Peel the Backing: Lift the decal and slowly peel off the paper backing, ensuring all vinyl letters stick to the clear transfer tape on top.
-
Apply the Decal: Starting from the taped edge, use a squeegee or credit card to apply the decal to the surface, working your way downwards to push out air bubbles.
-
Remove Transfer Tape: Once the decal is firmly applied, slowly peel the clear transfer tape away from the vinyl at a sharp angle. If any letters lift, press the transfer tape back down and squeegee again.
-
Cure Time: Allow the decal to cure for at least 24 hours before exposing it to water or harsh conditions.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I choose the right color for my registration numbers?
According to USCG and state regulations, the color of your registration numbers must contrast with the color of your boat's hull. For example, use white numbers on a dark hull or black numbers on a light hull to ensure they are clearly visible.
Are the letters and numbers pre-spaced?
Yes, the registration numbers and letters come pre-spaced on a single piece of transfer tape for a straightforward, one-piece application. This ensures proper alignment and spacing as required by boating authorities.
How should I apply the decals for the best results?
For a bubble-free finish, you can use the "wet application" method. Lightly spray the surface with a solution of water and a few drops of soap. This allows you to reposition the decal before squeegeeing the water out and letting it dry completely.
