Registering your jet ski is an integral step towards legality and maritime compliance. One aspect of this process involves installing registration stickers as visual indicators that your jet ski is correctly registered under maritime regulations. We’ll walk through step-by-step installation techniques so you can accurately secure these visual cues on the water.
Materials Required for Registration Sticker Installation:
Step-By-Step Installation Guide
Select the Right Location:
Find a visible spot on your jet ski where the registration stickers will be easily seen from a distance, typically at either its bow or stern; however, depending on local regulations this could differ depending on its placement requirements. Check with your boating agency’s guidelines to see what placement requirements exist in your area.
Before applying stickers, make sure the surface you plan to cover is completely clean of dirt, dust, and any residue from previous applications. Use isopropyl alcohol or another mild cleaner solution to clean down the area before gently wiping with a microfiber cloth or soft towel and drying as soon as you are finished.
Prep the Stickers:
Carefully peel away registration stickers from their backing to avoid bending or creasing them as this could affect their adhesion and aesthetic value.
Apply Stickers:
Before fully adhering the sticker to its chosen location, hold it close without fully adhering it so you can make adjustments if necessary. Align the sticker according to its intended spot, press down at its center, then work your way outward, smoothing any air bubbles as you go. Use either a soft cloth or your fingers to press firmly onto its surface surface until firmly attached.
Smooth Out Air Bubbles:
If any air bubbles are trapped beneath your sticker, gently lift its edge and use your fingers or the edge of a credit card to smooth them out using back and forth motion from center towards edges to completely eliminate all bubbles.
Optional Step: Utilize Masking Tape:
If you’re having difficulty positioning the sticker correctly, masking tape can serve as a temporary guideline to aid with its positioning. Attach the tape directly to the surface, using it as an eye marker of where to apply your sticker once aligned correctly – once satisfied with its position apply as described in step 4
Optional Step: Apply Heat:
For registration stickers that require heat activation, using a hairdryer or heat gun on low setting may help the adhesive bond more securely. Hold it a few inches from the sticker while moving in a sweeping motion to evenly disperse heat distribution.
Final Step:
Once the sticker has been adhered, take a moment to look back and ensure it’s straight without wrinkles or bubbles, double-check its alignment, and take note of its overall appearance.
