LOADING & CAPACITY PLATES
The terms loading and capacity relate to the weight of
people, fuel and gear that can be safely carried. The
safe load of a boat in terms of people depends on a
number of characteristics, including hull volume and
dimension, the weight of the engine and, if an outboard,
how is it mounted. The number of seats in a boat is not
an indication of the number of people it can safely carry.
Capacity plates can generally be found on the inside
transom, or next to the helm station.
Capacity plates should never be removed, altered, or
tampered with. While it is not a Federal violation for a
boat owner to exceed the listed capacities, many states
do have statutes prohibiting the carriage of people and
gear in excess of the stated capacity, or the installation
of a motor that exceeds the recommended horse power
limit. Also, you may void your insurance policy if you are
found to have exceeded the limits stated on your
capacity plate.
