Marine Compliance

Boat registration numbers that stay legal on the water

Transport Canada requires motorized pleasure craft to display a Pleasure Craft Licence number on both sides of the bow in block characters at least 75 mm high. If your numbers are faded, undersized, or missing, fix that before the season starts.
