So I live in NW Arkansas where the winters are not to terrible so the Yamaha dealership that I bought my boat at Said I wouldn’t have to winterize my boat just to start it up to get the water out. Just wanna be sure I don’t mess anything up on are new boat Engine wise. What’s your thoughts on this?

I'm in NWA as well, welcome to the forum. I fill up a full tank with ethanol free and add yamalube ring free and the storage dose of fuel conditioner. Start it up a few times and gently increase rpms slightly to blow water out of water box. I don't rev the engines without load because that could possibly cause some issue (debated on the forum before). Plug in the onboard charger, spray yamalube silicone protectant, and start it up every 3-4 weeks.
