Pleasure Craft Licence (PCL) numbers that stay legal on the water
Transport Canada requires pleasure craft powered by a motor of 10 hp (7.5 kW) or more to display a Pleasure Craft Licence number on both sides of the bow in block characters at least 75 mm (3 in) high, in a colour contrasting with the hull. A PCL is licensing, not vessel registration. Missing or improperly displayed numbers are a separate $100 offence from the $250 fine for operating an unlicensed pleasure craft. If your numbers are faded, undersized, or missing, fix that before the season starts.
Independent guide, not a Transport Canada service. Decals are a private product, not an official government-issued licence or number.
