NOTE: If you register your boat as a powered boat and remove the source of power at a later time, you may wait until renewal to change to a non-powered boat class, or you may disregard the renewal notice, as non-powered boats are no longer required to be registered in Alaska.
The boat number must be removed when the boat is documented by the USCG or when the boat is no longer principally used in Alaska.
If you choose to register a non-powered boat, the sticker must be displayed in a location that is visible when the boat is in operation, on the top or side of the forward half of the boat.
