I had to register my motor, and then register my float tube as well. They give you an ident plate but nowhere on the tube could I mount that. They gave me one for the motor as well, so we put the motor one on its pivot mount. There isn't a drop-down choice for the DMV to put electric so my motor is listed as GAS motor, and my tube is listed as a 14ft boat!... Of course, then you'll also need to do the AIS registration.
Not sure anyone gets the same story so good luck with the DMV teller knowing just what do with it all. It's a mess, actually.
Best of luck to ya.
Thank you for the advice. Luckily there is a Hull ID on my kayak. I will be taking my kayak and motor to the DMV with me incase there are any questions.

Thank you! I plan on taking my receipt and the manufactures bill of origin, and anything else I can think of. I am sure they will need something that I don't have, LOL.
Good plan so if nothing else they'll at least know you are trying to do the correct things to abide by their regs.
