Description
Product Overview
Ensure your vessel meets legal requirements without compromising its aesthetic or structural integrity. The Hardline Products Registration Plate Kit provides a professional, permanent mounting solution for displaying registration numbers on inflatable boats, dinghies, and tenders.
Designed specifically for vessels lacking grab handles, perimeter ropes, or eyelets, these plates feature a powerful, pre-applied adhesive backing. This allows for a clean, drill-free application directly onto the hull tubes, ensuring your registration is displayed prominently and legally on both the port and starboard sides.
Key Benefits & Features
- Marine-Grade Durability: Constructed from high-impact, semi-flexible ABS plastic, these plates are engineered to withstand harsh marine environments. They are resistant to saltwater corrosion, UV fading, fuel spills, and scratches, ensuring years of reliable use.
- Superior Adhesion: Each plate comes pre-applied with 3M® SCOTCH MOUNT™ EXTREME double-sided tape. This industrial-strength adhesive bonds securely to hypalon, PVC, and other common inflatable materials, eliminating the need for complex glue kits or hazardous solvents.
- Universal Compliance: Sized at 4″ x 24″, these plates meet or exceed all US Coast Guard, State, and Federal requirements for registration number visibility. There is ample space to accommodate your full registration sequence and annual state permit decal.
- Safety & Design: Featuring smooth, die-cut rounded corners, the plates prevent snagging on gear or injury to passengers. The low-profile, 1/16″ thickness ensures they contour naturally to the curve of your boat’s tubes.
- Simple Installation: No tools required. Simply clean the surface, peel the liner, and apply. This “peel-and-stick” system saves time and prevents potential damage to your boat caused by alternative mounting methods.

- Storage Advice: While the adhesive is extremely durable, if you fully deflate and roll your vessel for storage annually, the plates may need to be removed and reapplied with fresh tape the following season.
- Installation Tip: For best results, install on the forward half of the vessel, above the bond line. Always dry-fit the plates to check alignment before removing the adhesive liner.
