AQUATIC INVASIVE SPECIES SELF-INSPECTION CERTIFICATION FOR GAME FISH CONTESTS
Revised as June 2023
Use this self-inspection certification when launching on waterbodies that do not have an inspection program, or if the station is closed. Complete this form prior to launching in the contest water and keep it on the vessel throughout the duration of the contest.

Maybe its me, but question #5 kinda blows my mind, or is it a trick question to determine if you've lied? Does anybody know of any ramp, lake or Marina where 140 degree water is available? BTW skin exposure to 140 degree water for just 6 seconds will cause burns. Does the dealer "decontaminate" all used boats before putting them up for sale?
I don't know about you, but I don't have a hot water exterior faucet at my house. But if they're talking about a car wash, how are you supposed to check the temperature.
Ah regulators........gotta luv em.

Lake Arrowhead in So cal uses high temp water flush. It's a private lake accessible only to locals with lake rights. My grandson just bought a boat and I watched them flush it. Gets tagged when he pulls it out and as long as the tag is not disturbed he can launch without being flushed again.

I think the intent is if you answer no to #2, #3 or #4 your boat may have been exposed.
Performing the #5 140 degree cleaning after the last time boat has been in the water will negate the "no answers"

-Thank you for the post
Unfortunately, "Self-Inspection" form is a joke as it doesn't address the spread of contamination. It's no different than Lake County policies of buying monthly stickers or walk around boats.
