In my experiences with the Redondo Harbor patrol...you must have CF numbers if you have a motor on any vessel...Coast Guard regulations require CF numbers for a motorized vessel.
On the other hand...often times harbor patrol will not even notice if you have CF numbers or that the kayak is motorized.
If your a member of AAA, is so simple to document the kayak and get your numbers...it's $16 a year for your DMV registration if you don't pay the Quaga and zebra mussel fee (that shouldn't break the bank), otherwise it's $36 a year.
Well worth the $16 not to get hassled...
