It's tagged on the front of your eye hook so if you pull the boat off the trailer it brakes the seal making it no good. That's how it works.
ahhhhhhh. I get it now.
what a pisser....... Christ, things have gone to hell there since I moved here.
fooking Zebra mussel inspectors ....muffler inspectors...... water inspectors ...... water cops...... sheesh!!
out here, ya drop yer boat in the water. and gas it.
even in the local State park lake by my house .....all the Ranger at the gate asked me was if it was loud: I said yup... it makes noise.... he said 'cool'.
I've never been inspected.... and only once have I even talked to a water cop and that was when he came by after I launched to tell me how much he liked my float.
I have all the CG required equipment to be sure, but....it's a different world here.
