LOCATING YOUR SERIAL NUMBER

It helps to determine the specific model and year of manufacture. Below are examples of where to find the serial number on the different products we manufacture. When contacting Consumer Service or registering your product, you will need to know your product's serial number. We recommend that you write the serial number down in your product’s user manual or somewhere outside of your boat so you have it available for future reference.

 

Depending on the year the product was manufactured the serial number formats may vary. See Serial Number Format Charts below:
