Im all good with it and will comply , happy its the boat trailer rego as opposed to seperate boat rego that would ultimately have costs attached .

First I have heard of needing a trailer rego number on the side of your boat? You should have a boat name on both sides (can be whatever you make up) and you should have a uhf call sign, if I remember correctly when registering a call sign you have to supply your trailer rego so everything can be traced.
