HIN - New Transom

[johnnywalker]

What are folks doing about losing the original HIN when replacing a transom?

How are you handling registering it when the state requires a pencil outline of the HIN?

Does anyone know where the 2nd onboard HIN is on a 1973 Tsunami 23’?

Thanks

On an I/O it is in 2 places: Center of the cap on the cockpit side at the transom under the fake wood trim. There is also one on the fwd edge of the motor well lip, right by the fuel tank hatch.
No Idea on the OB model

Dremel engraver after primer/before finish paint...

I’ve contacted machine plates online to get a stainless plate done. I’ll have to revive that project (now that covid is over), Terry wanted me to get this figured out too…

Nice idea - Looks like the shop that did my transom is sending me a plate which is being made at Winthrop Tackle in CT.

Cool, We are having Winthrop Tackle in CT make us the plate now. Thanks for the reply

I too just used dremel before final paint.

I cut out and saved original HIN and inset it in the new transom
