Anyone permitting for the first time or anyone with either "new" or "new-to-you" motorized watercraft(s), must submit a completed Watercraft Approval Request Form (see quick links below for this form) to get your motorized watercraft(s) approved. If you use the electronic version of the form, the submitted form will automatically be sent to the Boat Committee but if you use the printable form, you will need to email your completed form to
winnebagoboats@gmail.com. In the busy spring boating season, there can be up to a 10-day processing time. (NOTE: if you have permitted your motorized watercraft(s) at LW in previous years, you do not need to complete this step.) Once your watercraft is approved, the Boat Committee will reply to the email address you provided on your submitted form. Once you receive the approval email, you may then proceed to the watercraft permitting process below.
WATERCRAFT PERMITTNG PROCESS:
Per the regulations, each year the new boating season starts May 1st, and all watercrafts must be permitted for the new season. The boat ramp combination code will change at the beginning of each season and the new code will only be given to Members who have permitted watercrafts for the current boating season.
Please complete all the following components:
• Attend the In-Person Watercraft Safety Class. This class is required once every three (3) years for Members over the age of 18 and once annually for Members 14-18 years of age. Please note that viewing the Watercraft Safety Video at home does not count towards the in-person class.
Next, log into WWW.MYHOABOARD.COM (see quick links below for link to website) and complete the three components below:
• Watercraft Safety Test required annually
• Watercraft Permit Application - submit one application for all watercrafts at LW and be sure to upload proof of ownership for each motorized watercraft.
• Upload current insurance documents for each motorized watercraft (i.e. policy, declaration page, COI). Permits will NOT be issued until insurance documents uploaded show ALL of the following:
Once you have completed ALL of the above, please notify the HOA office and request a review of your completed documents. The HOA office will let you know when your permits are ready for pick up and payment.
