I used a Paslode framing nailer to attach mine...
Seriously, A little sanding and careful work especially around the edges with marine goop should do the trick. The expansion and contraction of the PVE in cold water and hot sun means that a flexible adhesive like marine goop would probably work best. You could also have them printed onto Vinyl and then attach that to your sleigh, expensive but doable. Or you could just take the motor off... inexpensive, healthy, and safe! Cheers... |

Correct me if I'm wrong but if I remember correctly you don't need to register your boat, or have CF numbers, unless your boat has a GASOLINE engine?

I concur with the "any motor" requiring a CF number, as well as the recommendation for a thin layer of marine goop. Course sandpaper to scuff the kayak surface. Shot peened kayak surfaces that are dimpled, do not work well with just the adhesive on the sticker.

I dont remember where it was or if it was even a CA kayak, but I remember seeing someone with a pic of their yak with a trolling motor, and they had their registration numbers on a piece of wood that was attached to their crate behind their seat.
I would check with the harbor police and see if something like that is allowed.

So a kayak with an electric motor like a Torque or eVolve requires a CF number? Do you need a different license if you go to another state? What if you travel all over the country?
Amazing! I know a couple of guys who are breaking the law every time they hit the water. Pretty soon they will start regulating toilet paper. Very disappointing. Bob |

Anyway I agree its ridiculous regulation and they should consider electric motors up to a certain HP rating to be the same as human powered non-vessel. |

Adhearing to poly plastic...
To get your stickers (or velcro strips, etc.) to adhear to plastic, put a thin layer or two of contact cement on the hull, let dry, then afix your sticker, and you should be good to go for a semi-permanent application.

thanks for the responses, guys. I have some extra goop so will give that a try. I like the idea of putting the sticker on the crate, making it a portable solution, but I'm pretty sure the CF number has to stay with the kayak I registered and can't be "shared" between kayaks.
