With a short list of optional equipment, the cutting-edge 255 FSH Sport H is ready to deliver exciting on-water action. ## Bow With extended seating forward, the wide bow area is well-suited for taller guests and family members. Fully forward is a dedicated anchor and line locker with a gas-assisted ram for easy opening. ![Yamaha 255 FSH Sport H hatch cover](/sites/default/files/Yamaha-255-FSH-Sport-H-hatch-4-1-24_0.png) The turn-and-locking hatch cover is rubberized non-skid. ![Yamaha 255 FSH Sport H danforth anchor](/sites/default/files/Yamaha-255-FSH-Sport-H-danforth-anchor-storage-4-1-24.png) The Danforth anchor easily fits in its slot and is held in place by keepers. Yamaha has provided a notch for the anchor rode to pass through.Knowing that there can never be enough storage aboard, Yamaha has utilized every spare inch of space on the 255 FSH Sport H, as seen with the large hatch in the bow deck for access to a handy storage space. ![Yamaha 255 FSH Sport H seating in the bow area](/sites/default/files/Yamaha-255-FSH-Sport-H-bow-seating-4-1-24.png) Comfortable seating is found in the bow area. ![Yamaha 255 FSH Sport H bow features including livewell, seating, rod holders, storage cabinet](/sites/default/files/Yamaha-255-FSH-Sport-H-bow-features-4-1-24.png) Other bow features include an insulated 18-gallon (68 L) livewell to port, forward-facing seating for two in front of the console, rod holders to either side, a storage cabinet to starboard, and a bow filler casting platform/table.

Note the recessed grabs on either side of the lounges.## Console and Helm Yamaha’s advanced technology is not limited to its engineering prowess but expands to its innovative use of space as shown in the forward half of the ‘convertible’ console which smoothly transforms the two-person seat into a single-person changing room, head, or additional storage. ![Yamaha 255 FSH Sport H console seat](/sites/default/files/Yamaha-255-FSH-Sport-H-console-seat-4-1-24.png) One easy motion is all it takes to lift the front half of the console seat for use as single person changing room, head, or additional storage. In addition, there is access to the back of the helm for servicing the electronics and other equipment.
