411. This article applies only to work done on a vessel with an
estimated cost of one hundred dollars ($100) or more.
412. Notwithstanding Section 502, a repairperson has no lien on a
vessel under this article for compensation for services rendered to
the vessel, unless the repairperson has complied with this article.

(a) The repairperson shall give to the customer either of the
following:
(1) A written estimated price for labor and parts for a specific
job.
(2) A written estimate of the maximum cost for a specific job
which does not differentiate between labor and parts, but which shall
not be exceeded by the actual cost of the job, including labor and
parts.
No work shall be done or parts supplied in excess of, or different
from, the original written estimate without the separate oral or
written consent of the customer. If the consent is oral, the
repairperson shall make a notation on the work order and on the
invoice of the date, time, name of person authorizing the additional
work or change in work, and the telephone number called, if any,
together with a specification of the additional parts and labor and
the total additional cost.
(b) If it is necessary to disassemble a vessel or its component in
order to prepare a written estimated price for required work, the
repairperson shall first give the customer a written estimated price
for the disassembly and reassembly. The estimate shall also include
the cost of parts and necessary labor to replace items such as
gaskets, seals, and O rings that are normally destroyed by
disassembling the component. If the disassembling might prevent the
restoration of the component to its former condition, the
repairperson shall write that information on the work order
containing the estimate before the work order is signed by the
customer.
The repairperson shall inform the customer orally, and
conspicuously in writing on the work order, of the maximum time it

maximum time if the customer elects not to proceed with the work.
After the disassembling has been performed, the repairperson shall
prepare a written estimated price for labor and parts necessary for
the requested work. Before performing the requested work, the
repairperson shall obtain the customer's authorization to either
perform the work or to reassemble the vessel or its components.
(c) When the customer is unable to deliver the vessel to the
repairperson during business hours, and the customer has requested
the repairperson to take possession of the vessel for the purpose of
performing work on the vessel or estimating the cost of the work, the
repairperson shall not undertake work on the vessel for compensation
unless the repairperson has done all of the following:
(1) The repairperson has prepared a work order stating the written
estimated price for labor and parts necessary to perform the work.
(2) By telephone or otherwise, the customer has been given all of
the information on the work order, and the customer has approved the
work order.
(3) The customer has given oral or written authorization to the
repairperson to make the repairs pursuant to the work order.
If the authorization is oral, the repairperson shall make, on both

tax, if any, applicable to each.

invoice shall clearly state that fact. If a part of a component
system is composed of new and used, rebuilt, or reconditioned parts,
the invoice shall clearly state that fact.
One copy of the invoice shall be given to the customer and one
copy shall be retained by the repairperson.
416. The invoice shall show the repairperson's business name and
address.
