- Check the PCL number on your current licence. Use Transport Canada for licence applications, transfers, or updates.
- Measure the usable space on each side of the bow and note the hull colour.
- Review the current character sizes, colours, and price on the product page. Ordering decals does not issue or renew a licence.
Applying your boat numbers
- Clean the chosen hull area, remove wax and residue, and let it dry. Follow the application instructions for your selected material and surface.
- Check the full number placement on both sides of the bow before removing the backing. Keep the markings above the waterline and check alignment.
- Apply the decal gradually, smoothing from one edge outward. Check the completed number against your licence.
Boat number questions
Where do PCL numbers go?
On each side of the bow, above the waterline, in block characters at least 75 mm (3 inches) tall and in a colour contrasting with the background.
Is this the same as vessel registration?
A pleasure craft licence and vessel registration are different processes. Confirm which applies through Transport Canada before choosing markings.
What should I prepare for my decal order?
Have your current PCL number, the usable bow space, and the hull colour ready. Review the current product options and pricing before checkout.
Do decals renew my licence?
No. Licence applications, transfers, and updates are handled by Transport Canada. Use the number on your current licence when ordering hull markings.
