A. The law of the state or other jurisdiction under whose certificate of title a
watercraft is covered governs all issues relating to the certificate from the
time the watercraft becomes covered by the certificate until the watercraft
becomes covered by another certificate or becomes a documented watercraft, even
if no other relationship exists between the jurisdiction and the watercraft or
its owner.

B. A watercraft becomes covered by a certificate of title when an application
for the certificate and the applicable fee are delivered to the Department in
accordance with this article or to the governmental agency that creates a
certificate in another jurisdiction in accordance with the law of that
jurisdiction.
