Without getting into too much details, let's say I know a spot where I can leave my Yamaha AR190 without getting into trouble. Is this going to be a problem or I'm worrying too much?
 
It depends entirely on the spot you're thinking of.
Generally, if it's a private dock or an approved mooring, you're probably fine.
If it's something like a public beach, a restricted area, or blocking navigation, then yes, it could definitely be a problem.
It's best to check with local regulations to avoid fines or worse, getting your boat impounded!

If you got a good spot right there and it's not officially or LEGALLY off-limits, you're probably okayy. But make sure you keep an eye out for any local rules or signs, we don't really wanna catch a ticket or worse. Enjoy :)

bro, Even in freshwater, parts like the jet pump components, trim tabs, and any underwater metals are susceptible to corrosion over time. In saltwater, it's much faster
 
If it's a good hiding spot you probably won't have any legal issues. With that said, too long in the water might cause problems. I don't think it would be a massive problem for a few days, but longer than that and I'd consider taking it out. You could wax the hull and check the anodes just in case to reduce any potential for damage.
