New portable regs

[coombia21]

i was wondering what the new rule means that you have to have your trailer licensed so does that mean i need my otter trailer licensed or my yard cart licensed and does the lifetime license on the trailer count for this

thanks dan

you only need to license anything that you will pull on a public road. I'm assuming by "otter trailer", you mean your portable, and if that's the case, no you don't need to license it. you also don't need to license a yard cart....as long as you don't pull it on the road!! Your post is kinda vague, might want to clairfy it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the DNR does not enforce trailer registration on fish houses. That's something the cops have to get you for if you're going down the road, correct?

Yes, I don’t quite understand what you are asking.

I’m pretty sure that a fish house that is on wheels, needs a trailer license (DMV) and also a permanent shelter license (DNR).

Portables don’t need any type of licensing. Unless of you plan to leave them unattended on the ice overnight, then you need a permanent shelter license.

Any kind of fishhouse (portable, wheelhouse, or permanent) do not require a DNR license unless you leave it unattended overnight.

Wheelhouses do require some sort of DMV license if you intend road use.

You need to visit a DMV with the specifications of your wheel house.

There are some cases where you can get a life time sticker on the smaller wheelhouses where the larger shacks will need a title and yearly sticker. Note that some of the older, larger shacks need some sort of a brake system (and other upgrades, lights, etc.) installed before you get the DMV license issued.

I believe (?) the DNR can site you for DMV violations (i.e. they can nail you for DWI on the wheeler or sled.

i am wondering if i have to license my otter sled with wheel conversion i put my ice shack in the trailer and pull it out vs dragging it to keep the sled from wearing through

If you pull it down a legal roadway you will need to license it, regardless of what it is used for. If you drive it to the lake in the back of a truck, and only pull it on the ice, then no you don't.
