Typically, seals are applied between the eyebolt of the watercraft, and a hard welded part of the trailer.

Seals are now available upon request at Lake Sonoma, and will be available at Lake Mendocino in the near future.

What are seals?

An item with many names - what are they actually?

  • A seal is proof of prior inspection.

  • It may speed up your entry to the next water.

  • The boat operator has to stop at the inspection station and have the seal and receipt verified. It is not a free pass.

  • The boat may be allowed to launch if it:

  • is returning to the same location

  • has been out of the water for more than 30 days

  • is clean, drained and dry.

Bottom Line: If the watercraft is not clean and dry, it will most likely get re-inspected.

Keep your boat clean and dry and get on the water fast!
