MMSI Number?

[Boondocker]

Does anyone know how to deal with MMSI number if boat sold to another party?

 

[Captain Steve]

go to www.boatus.com and then the MMSI tab. There you can cancel or modify the MMSI info

You will also have to change the number in your VHF and that may have to be a factory change, but look through your manuals or call the manufacturer for guidance.

Boondocker,

I just traded-in my R27 in which I had previously registered the built-in VHF radio for an MMSI with http://www.BoatUS.com/mmsi

After the trade-in, I logged onto http://www.BoatUS.com/mmsi and CANCELED my account for that MMSI number as instructed by BoatUS. See this link:

http://www.boatus.com/mmsi/MM5.htm#q41

From their FAQS:
"I have sold my boat & radio. What should I do?

If you sell or trade your boat and radio with an MMSI number programmed into it, please be sure to login and CANCEL the MMSI account to make the number available to the new buyer. Once it is canceled we will know it is ok to reassign the number to the new owner should they enquire about it. Do not continue to use the same MMSI number with a new boat & radio as it would still be tied to the one you have sold. Instead, you would need to register for a new MMSI number for any new radio."

To add: The equipment on your boat will need to be sent in for the new owner and or a dealer representative will have to clear the system as well. Specifically the VHF200.

I never realized that when I purchased YOLO, that I had to get a new MMSI number.

Just took care of it!
