HULL IDENTIFICATION PLATE

The hull I.D. Plate is located on the outboard side of the starboard transom, above the water line, and contains
the following information:
• Hull Identification Number (Serial Number) - Should also be included in any inquiries or when ordering parts.
The U.S.C.G. requires the H.I.N. number be permanently affixed and remain on the starboard transom of
the boat. Do not alter this plate in any way.
Hazardous Labeling
RECOMMENDED ON-PLANE SEATING LOCATIONS
A decal similar to the one in figure 1 below should be found on your boat in the area of
the capacity label. The areas marked by "X's" are the areas of the boat considered safe
and suitable for on-plane seating. Be sure to read any warnings that may be on the seats,
bases, and pedestals and follow the instructions listed. The operator of the boat should be
familiar with these locations. Do not sit in Class B seating when speeds are over 5 mph.
Load the boat within the limits of the capacity plate. Persons may sit in alternate locations
inside the gunwale at trolling speeds. Be sure there is a handhold in the vicinity, sit in
locations so the boat is balanced, and not obstruct the operator's view.
