Any Member permitting for the first time or any Member with either "new" or "new-to-you" MOTORIZED watercraft(s), must submit a Watercraft Approval Request Form (see quick links above for this form) to get your motorized watercraft(s) approved by the Boat Committee. NOTE: please do NOT complete this form for watercrafts previously permitted at LW. 

 

If you use the electronic version of the form, the completed form will automatically be submitted to the Boat Committee for review but if you use the printable form, you will need to scan and email your completed form to winnebagoboats@gmail.com.

 

In the busy spring boating season, there can be up to a 10-day processing time. Upon review, the Boat Committee will reply to the email address you provided on your submitted form whether it is approved or if more information is needed. Once you receive the approval email, you may then proceed to the watercraft permitting process below.

 

 

Per the regulations, the new boating season starts May 1st of each year, and all watercrafts must be permitted for each new season. The boat ramp combination code will change at the beginning of each new boating season and the new code will only be given to Members who paid/picked up watercraft permits for the new boating season.

 

1. In-Person Watercraft Safety Class - this class is required for everyone who plans to operate ANY type of watercrafts. 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. In-person classes are offered each spring from mid-March to mid-May. If you are permitting for the first time, please call the HOA office and make sure we have your email address so that you will receive a link to sign up. Members who have taken the class in previous years but are now due for the class again will receive an email link to sign up for a class. Any new Members who move into LW after the month of May who would like to permit watercrafts, will need to call the HOA office and schedule an appointment to view the Watercraft Safety Video at the HOA office. NOTE: viewing the Watercraft Safety Video at home does NOT count towards this requirement.

 

 

 

2. Watercraft Permit Application - submit one application for all watercrafts at LW and be sure to upload                 proof of ownership for each motorized watercraft.

 

5. Once you have completed ALL the above, please notify the HOA office that you have completed all requirements in MYHOABOARD and request a review. The HOA office will then let you know when your permits are ready for pick up and payment.
