To store the Yamaha 190 FSH Deluxe, clean the boat thoroughly, drain any water from the bilge, and stabilize the fuel with a fuel stabilizer. Remove the battery and store it in a dry, cool place. Cover the boat with a breathable cover to protect it from dust and moisture.

Clean the hull using a mild detergent and a soft brush to remove dirt and grime. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water. Apply a marine-grade wax to protect the surface from UV rays and reduce fouling. Regular cleaning helps maintain performance.
