Mine was on my ski when I bought it. But I went to Dept of Safety and asked about having to replace it in the event of refinishing my cowl. They said that they could be replaced by taking your registration to Dept of Safety and filling out a form. Basically they are one time issue (no year date), and it helps Marine Patrol tell from a distance if they are looking at a two or three passenger PWC.
