Tips for good scans
- Allow camera access when the app asks the first time. If you said no, turn it on in your phone's Settings â MarineOps â Camera.
- For a HIN, aim at the barcode on the door jamb or windshield sticker. If it won't read after a few seconds, the app switches to photo mode â snap the printed HIN instead.
- Good light helps â in a dark bay, use a shop light or have someone hold a flashlight on the HIN plate.
