[ve-l] When to Issue The Decal

[Richard]

I agree with that.   Tell him/her that they need to fix the problem first
and then contact you so that you can award them the decal.

 

That is the approach I take with any exam that does not pass for any reason.
As I stated in my original email,  in Seattle,  the Coast Guard mandates
that the boat registration numbers be correct due to the security alerts on
our Ferry Boats.  It's quite a sight to see their high speed patrol boats
heading straight for you with their 50cal guns trained on you.

 

Flares used to be the number one reason for boats not being awarded the
decal, now its

I agree with Kevin on this one.  Don't change the rules to be "a nice guy"
BUT don't be a "hard-nose" either.  In my area courtesy sets us apart from
the USCGAs approach.  

On the owner's copy of the Exam is the block for your phone number.  Tell
him/her that they need to fix the problem first and then contact you so that
you can award them the decal.  We're here to help NOT prosecute.  USPS is
for Safety AND Education.
