Title: Hailing Port
Post by: ken003 on May 09, 2005, 08:45:39 AM
The hailing port for uscg documentation must be at least 4" block letters on the transom.  The only place for this on a 2005 C34 MK II would be the 6" curving base of the swim platform.  Has anyone else fit it in any other way?

thanks,
Ken

Ken : What most of the people I've seen have done, is put the hailing port below the Name on each side.  Just under the Name near the stern   :wink:

Assuming the question because you have the walk through transom.  It does make it hard to fit.  I placed mine on the flat surface at the very top.  City name on one side, state on the other.  I think because of the space 3" is the size I used.  Been through several CG (active and aux) inspections, no one has raise an issue with them not being 4".

Thanks,  
Glad to hear this.  I am going to use 3" lettering too.  The sign people said the same thing.

For Documented boats letters have to be 4" and block the space I use when lettering boats is 22.5" that will fit in between the swim ladder or try to space it that the stops on the ladder will not hit the lettering
