To request information about your canoe, such as model, length, manufactured date, etc., please email us at customerservice@mohawkcanoes.com or visit our contact page and fill out our contact form. Be sure to include your canoe's Hull Identification Number (HIN) in your message. All Mohawk Canoes have an HIN that begins with MMN. Including a picture of the canoe can help (FYI, pictures cannot be attached via contact form, so please use email us at customerservice@mohawkcanoes.com if you would like to attach any photos). You can also browse the Mohawk Canoes Spec Archive and the Mohawk Canoes Historical Sell and Spec Sheets to find out more information about your Mohawk Canoe. In exchange for offering this free service,  we ask that you show some love by leaving an online Google review for Mohawk Canoes! 

Also consider visiting hindecoder.com which provides some basic information regarding your canoe's HIN.

A typical hull identification number (HIN) consists of 12 letters and numbers, as in ABC12345D404.

Using the example HIN above, Here's what the letters and numbers mean:

• ABC: This is the U.S. Coast Guard-assigned manufacturer identification code (MIC). Go to the USCG Manufacturers Identification page to access the Coast Guard's MIC database. The MIC for Mohawk Canoes is MMN.

• 12345: This is the serial number assigned to the hull by the manufacturer. This may be a combination of letters and numbers. The letters "I," "O," and "Q" are excluded because they could be mistaken for numbers.

• D: This is the month of certification, indicating the month in which construction began. "A" represents January and "L" represents December. In our example, "D" means April.

• 4: This is the year of certification. The number is the last digit of the year in which the boat was built. "4" in this case designates 2004.

• 04: This indicates the boat's model year.

A canoe's HIN can be found on the original paperwork that came with the canoe from the factory or dealer. The HIN is also physically located on the canoe. It will be located on the right outside stern either on a metal plate or directly on the canoe (if the HIN is not located there, check under the deck plate on the interior bow).

Due to the cease in production of Royalex material, we stopped making canoes in 2016. We hope to again make new canoes, but we do not have a set date as to when that might happen.

We are not currently manufacturing floatation bags, but, as with canoes, we hope to again some day. No date has been set for restarting the manufacture of floatation bags. 

How to repaint or repair your canoe will depend on which material is used in your canoe's hull: fiberglass or Royalex. 

Fiberglass is easy to repair and repaint. Here is a good beginner's video guide to repairing and repainting a fiberglass canoe: wikihow.com/Paint-a-Fiberglass-Canoe

Royalex, on the other hand, can be more difficult to repair and repaint. When it comes to painting Royalex, we suggest using a marine-specific product like Interlux Brightside marine polyurethane paint. 

Here are some videos that offer suggestions on how to repair Royalex:

CAUTION! is the resident shop dog at Mohawk Canoes. She can be found barking at work items with wheels (only when in motion), napping on her towel in the office, or roaming the length of the building alongside production machinery. Her current portfolio of tricks includes sit, lie down, and show me your fleas (with more currently being learned). She is proud to be a rescue dog from a local animal shelter. Her name is CAUTION!, spelled in all capital letters followed by an exclamation point (she has her rescue dog adoption papers as proof).

Sure, here you go

Okay, one more

Shop dogs are dogs that are so cool and lovable that they are given special permissions and privileges to roam freely around the shop during working hours. Shop dogs are expected to provide entertainment, affection, and laughs from time to time. They receive treats, head pats, and scratches as compensation for good behavior. Legend has it that shop dogs never die, they just retire permanently to the back room where they are waited on hand and foot by the shop owner and employees.

As with her dog foods, CAUTION! has an eclectic taste and a refined palate when it comes to her YouTubes. Her go-to YouTubes depend on her mood:
