Permanent Coast Guard Doc #'s... How To?
 

Need a bit of guidance on where to and how to affix the permanent CG Documentation #'s on the boat... The CG says something about covering the numbers in clear resin. Any body got pics or tips on this? Thanks

I just got my renewal notice yesterday and saw there was a flyer in there for a compny that makes the #s....but I dont think it'd be a big deal to get them made...Theyre about the same size as temp boat i.d. (C.F. #'S) like dealers use. Most people just mount them on the inside of the eng compartment...Thats where I'll do mine when i get around to it!:eek: :D

Don't know about the CG in other areas but they have never given me any grief about having them cleared over. A good set of vinyl numbers in the bilge is really all they are looking for. The resin over the top would probably be to make the removal a little more difficult in case of theft but hell, the thieves grind and restamp HIN's so clearing over some numbers in the bilge isn't going to stop them.:rolleyes:

Mine are under the back seat and cleared over. Why clutter up a perfectly clean engine compartment:rolleyes:

Older boats I've had had them burned into a stringer.....now THAT was permanant

Good idea CH. I haven't installed mine in the Cig yet. I think I'll put mine under the back seat too.

How about this?

Me too.....

Thanks for the tips guys...

Under the back seat sounds like a good place to put em too...

Here's a shot of how mine are done. 3" numbers, tape around and cleared over.....

Awesome...

Thanks Ciaoderhead!
