Not too many dinghy people around this forum but we just bought a new 2019 Zodiac cadet 330 Al RIB dinghy from Defender. We need to put the registration numbers assigning it as a tender to our sailboat. On our last dinghy, we tried the black vinyl block 3" high lettering you can find at any hardware store. They started peeling off within hours. The registration sticker did not fare much better. We ended up tracing the numbers/letters with a Sharpie and filling them in yearly. We did not like the look or lack of permanancy.
I found this on-line and decided to order a set for the Zodiac. https://boatnumberplate.com/ Ordered a set compatible with our Hypalon material and put them on last night. They come with a spot to put the registration sticker so it will not peel off. Liking the look a lot better than our older dinghy. I actually read the instructions for this install.
Layed out the placement, taped off the area and started sanding.
After a light sanding I cleaned with acetone and laid down the adhesive per the instructions.
