Good day.
We have a 2011 R-27 w/ the Yanmar 180 HP diesel. I was just sent a reminder from Washington state to register our boat for 2017. In that registration reminder it had the below text stating that ALL boats must have TWO HIN #'s affixed to the hull to be compliant w/ Coast Guard and/or Homeland Security rules and regulations.
Does anybody know where those HIN #'s - hopefully two of them - can be found on a R-27?
The text I referenced can be seen as follows (i.e. please note the last paragraph below):
Effective January 1, 2017, the Washington State Department of Licensing was required to comply with Coast Guard regulations requiring that all state titled vessels have a 12-character hull identification number (HIN) that conforms to federal standards. These standards are outlined in 33 CFR 181.25, Hull Identification Number Format, in the Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security code of federal regulations. You may also find the allowable HIN formats at http://www.dol.wa.gov.
If your HIN is not compliant, at your next transaction including renewing your vessel registration, you will be required to visit a Vehicle Licensing Office and be issued a new Certificate of Ownership with a compliant HIN. You will not be able to renew online. There will be no titling fees assessed if the title transaction is solely due to the issuance of a compliant HIN. You may locate your nearest office by visiting http://www.dol.wa.gov.
If the affixed HIN is different than that listed on the title and complies with federal standards, please bring a photo or rubbing of the affixed HIN for your record to be updated. Your vessel record will be updated at no charge and a new HIN will not be issued.
Two identical HINs must be permanently affixed to your vessel in accordance with 33 CFR 181.29, Hull Identification Number Display. You will be required to attest that the HIN has been permanently affixed to your vessel at each subsequent registration renewal. The details of this section of the CFR are provided here. It is recommended that the original HIN should not be removed, covered up or otherwise defaced/obliterated from the vessel’s hull, but that the assigned HIN should be applied adjacent to the original HIN.
Thanks and have a great day!
