During Work Order Creation

When creating a work order, you can add a new watercraft inline if it doesn't exist.

Required Information

At minimum, you need:

  • Make - Manufacturer (e.g., Sea Ray, Boston Whaler, Yamaha)
  • Model - Model name
  • Owner - Customer who owns the vessel

Recommended Information

For best service tracking, also include:

  • Year - Model year
  • Hull ID (HIN) - 12-character hull identification number
  • Registration Number - State registration
  • Vessel Name - If the boat has a name
  • Engine Serial Number - For warranty and parts lookup

Tip: Hull ID Location

The Hull Identification Number (HIN) is typically found on the transom (back) of the boat on the starboard (right) side. It's a 12-character code that includes manufacturer info, serial number, and build date.

Adding Engine Information

Document engine details for easier parts lookup and service:

Engine Information Section
Record engine make, model, and serial number. watercraft-engine
  • Engine Make - Mercury, Yamaha, Volvo, etc.
  • Engine Model - Specific model
  • Serial Number - For warranty and parts
  • Horsepower - Power rating

Multiple Engines

For boats with multiple engines (twins, triples), you can add additional engine records. Each engine can be tracked separately for maintenance purposes.
