Certificate of Number

The registration must be on board and available for inspection by an enforcement officer whenever the motorboat is being operated. The only exception to this requirement is for a motorboat less than 26 feet long that is leased or rented to a person for non-commercial purposes. In this case:

• The registration card may be retained on shore by the owner of the motorboat and…
• The person leasing or renting the motorboat must carry the lease agreement on board. The agreement must show the motorboat’s registration number, the time period for the lease, and the signature of the motorboat’s owner or his or her representative.
