Hull Identification Number HIN | Baja Marine 230 instruction

Introduction

6.Hull Identification Number (HIN)

The “Hull Identification Number” located on the starboard side of the transom, is the most important identifying factor and must be included in all correspondence and orders. Failure to include it creates delays. Also of vital importance are the engine serial numbers and part numbers when writing about or ordering parts for your engine and other major components and appliances. Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual for locations of engine serial numbers and record them for future reference.

7.Manufacturer’s Certification

As a boat manufacturer, Baja builds its products to guidelines established under the Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971. The Act is promulgated by the United States Coast Guard who has authority to enforce these laws on boat manufacturers that sell products in the United States. Baja ensures that all of its products comply with these laws.

The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) provides Baja with a third party certification. The NMMA is an organization that represents the marine industry and assists manufacturers, boat dealers, marinas, repair yards, and component suppliers in areas of legislation, environmental concerns, marine business growth, and state and federal government agency interaction. The third party certification that Baja participates in uses the well known Standards and Recommended Practices

of the ABYC, American Boat and Yacht Council.

Baja Marine Corporation participates extensively in the American Boat and Yacht Council which is a nonprofit organization that develops and publishes voluntary standards and recommended practices for boat and equipment design, construction, service, and repair. We utilize all applicable ABYC standards in the construction of our boats.

Finally, Baja sells their products world wide and as such must conform to the various rules and regulations required by other countries. Most notably, are the ISO standards in Europe which require the application of the CE (Common European) mark. This mark, much like the NMMA certification in the U.S., gives you, the boat owner, specific information concerning your craft.
