Who removes all their warning stickers

[scottb7]

How they gonna prove you took off the sticker, and it wasn't just missing from the factory?

I don't know if it still holds true today, but 10 years ago Nautiques had 2-3 times as many warning stickers as other tow boats. I just always thought that was a Nautique thing and not necessarily industry wide.

My neighbor is a trial attorney with a G23; he said something to the same effect. I am unburdened by this silliness.

Thanks for the post....I'm with you. Do they expect you to maintain the stickers like you do with oil and tuneups. Using this boat may result in serious injury or death....what's wrong with this world?

Although I could not find one online to share, but on my old 2001 Sport Nautique I had the following warning sticker (only model specific). Maybe we remove all warning stickers and just have this one along with the Coast Guard sticker?

Nothing in what you just said substantiated the position: If you (as a boatowner) remove the warning stickers and sell the boat then you can be held liable if the next owner gets hurt.

All you're doing here is repeating general lawsuit rhetoric.

Yeah....I see what you're saying. Probably pretty slim chances of that happening...and not to get off topic...I pull some of my stickers also. But like someone said above....you can BET some of the stickers came about from someone suing because of something happening....sticker or not. I was surprised to see the separate sticker for bow capacity....but I know it came from the MasterCraft running over girl incident. Now I can't put 6 small kids up there....WTF.....LOL

I'll be taking delivery of my 230 very soon. I think one of the first things I'm gonna do is take off all of the warning stickers.

What did you use to get them off? Did you leave any?

I have pulled them off, but I need to remove the sticky residue. Probably going to use Goof Off.

No urban myth the number of safety/warning decals increases every decade, Correct Craft clearly is doing that for a reason, trying to deflect liability. At the rate things are going when my grandkids buy their first new Nautique it will essentially be wrapped in warning stickers, lol

I personally do not remove any stickers, especially the coast guard capacity plate.

Oh yeah? Well... You just lost your cool guy card... ;-)

It isn't. My 230 had that window frame sticker on it.

You know what? I was at the dealer today and saw it on a 2017 210. Maybe I forgot about mine having one.

Once again, you're not following the topic. The topic is: "If you, as a boatowner take these warning stickers off, sell the boat and the new owner gets hurt or something, they can come back and sue YOU because you removed the stickers."

There is nothing to support this myth. Nobody has been able to present a single case where this has happened.

Actually, the topic the OP started is "what did you use to get them off" and "did you leave any."

Wanna know how extreme this can get? I haven't even had registration numbers on any of my boats for 8 years now. Think I'm gonna worry about warning labels? Mmm nah. So much for rules... (Of course I pay the registration fees). I just keep the tags in the glove box. I just hate tacky, busy stickers that much.

I do the same thing! Law hasn't tagged me yet

That's awesome!! I would leave this sticker on my boat.

[RDT-G23]

This is actually one of the easier ones to get off. Just pull it SLOWLY. The goal is to have the adhesive stick to the back of the label instead of the windshield frame. I did have to use a little solvent to get the sticky stuff off. WD-40 is an excellent solvent for this. It isn't as harsh as Goof Off.

Just like you said...It was easy, and took no paint with it. I only have these two left on the entire boat. I guess I'll leave them alone...
FWIW, I have two 2017 Sea Doos that I removed 9 stickers a piece from; I do not like stickers...
