Mandatory inspection and, if necessary, decontamination is required of all out-of-state registered watercraft or watercraft re-entering the state of New Mexico. All boaters are required to pull the plug¨ and completely drain watercraft when transporting on a New Mexico roadway.

measures on their own.
