Watercraft being overtaken must maintain course and speed. Watercraft meeting head-on must pass portside to portside when practical to do so. All motorized watercraft operated, moored or anchored on the waterways of Arizona must be numbered. The owner must file an application for number with the Arizona Game and Fish Department on forms provided. The number issued must be displayed on each side of the bow along with the current registration decal issued by the Department.
Registration is staggered, similar to motor vehicle registration.
Decals issued will be the color of the year of expiration. If ownership of a watercraft changes, the new owner must notify the Department within 15 days if his address changes or if a watercraft is stolen. No number other than the one issued by the Department may be displayed on the forward half of any watercraft.
