Notes
Regarding the
Manufacturer's
Statement of Origin (MSO)
Procedures covering partially completed or blank
Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO) for new vessels under 14 feet.
If the MSO is blank or partially completed, customer must go back to
dealer to complete and return with pencil tracing or digital picture
that matches.
If the MSO is handwritten, customer must have pencil tracing or digital
picture that matches.
If book MSO, customer must go back to dealer to complete and return with
pencil tracing or digital picture that matches.
On all West Marine Vessels, a pencil tracing and/or digital picture is
required, in addition to any MSO submitted—NO EXCEPTIONS.
The digital picture cannot be on a cell phone—we need to retain a copy.
The MSO form must match the vessel being registered. (EX: If the vessel
being registered is a Boston Whaler, the customer cannot use a form from
another manufacturer, such as a Sea Ray MSO form.) |
