If you own a boat, yacht or other marine vessel, it’s important for you to follow state and federal regulations. In this article, we’re covering some of the major points regarding applying graphics and decals to marine vessels under federal regulations.
One of the major points, outlined in the federal regulations for marine vessels, is that basically, all the marking requirements on the marine vessel must be located together in one place on the hull and clearly visible.
To follow federal requirements, the hull on the vessel must have the following:
- Must have the name and the hailing port on the hull of the vessel.
- The letters must be no less than 4 inches in height.
- The letters must be clearly visible and legible.
- The vessel must have the official number permanently affixed in Arabic numerals no less than 3 inches tall.
These are just some of the requirements outlined in the federal documentation for marine vessel regulations.
