Description
All-in-One Solution for Inflatables Without Grab Handles or Perimeter Ropes
Ensure your vessel is legally compliant and looking professional with the Hardline Products® Registration Plate Kit. Designed specifically for inflatable dinghies, tenders, and boats where traditional hull application is difficult, this comprehensive kit provides a durable, marine-grade mounting surface for your registration numbers.
Why Choose This Kit?
Applying registration numbers directly to the flexible tubes of an inflatable boat can be frustrating. Numbers often peel, bubble, or fail to adhere to uneven hypalon or PVC surfaces. Our Registration Plate Kit solves this by providing a rigid, semi-flexible ABS plastic surface that securely bonds to your boat, ensuring your registration stays visible, compliant, and intact in harsh marine environments.
Key Features & Benefits
- Marine-Grade Durability: Crafted from semi-flexible, 1/16″ thick ABS plastic, these plates are engineered to withstand saltwater exposure, fuel spills, and UV fading. They are “Salt-Water Tough” and built to last.
- Secure 3M® Adhesion: Each plate comes pre-applied with industrial-strength 3M® SCOTCH MOUNT™ EXTREME double-sided tape. This ensures a permanent bond to your vessel’s tubes without the need for drilling or complex hardware.
- Complete Decal Set Included: No need to buy separate numbers. The kit includes our best-selling 3-inch black registration decal kit, featuring 4 full sets of A-Z and 0-9 (144 decals total)—enough to fully register both port and starboard sides.
- Professional Finish: The plates feature rounded, die-cut corners for a sleek look that prevents snagging.
- Mistake-Free Application: We include our proprietary Sticker-On!™ Decal Application Fluid. This specialized fluid allows you to slide your decals into perfect alignment and squeegee out bubbles before they set, guaranteeing a professional result.

Installation Tips

- Surface Prep: Ensure the boat surface is clean and dry before applying the mounting tape.
- Decal Application: Use the included Sticker-On! fluid only for applying the number decals to the plastic plates. Do not use the fluid when adhering the plates to the boat itself.
- Storage Note: If you fully deflate and roll your vessel annually for storage, you may need to reapply the plates with fresh mounting tape at the start of the next season.
