In a clean and dry area when the boat is not in use, When the boat is used, PFD's must be in a readily accessible area. Which means they cannot still be in the plastic bags, the Zipper bag that the zipper always corrodes and wont open, or under the V-berth cushions. Also make sure everyone knows how to properly put one on and that they know where they are. I always have like an Airplane safety speech onboard before going out with new people, explain the safety and how the toilet works LOL
The recommended method for storing Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) on board a boat is to keep them easily accessible and in a dry, ventilated area. PFDs should not be stored in airtight containers or in direct sunlight to prevent damage to the materials. It's important to ensure that they are organized and readily available for all passengers in case of an emergency. Regular inspections of the PFDs for wear and tear are also advisable.
The best method for storing personal floatation devices is to keep them next to each seat in the boat when you are on the water. You can also store them in a cabinet or bin as long as they are within easy reach if they are needed.

Exposure to the elements seems the most common reason I've found in my research of what causes personal flotation devices to wear out.
Type IV Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) are designed as throwable devices, such as cushions or rings, rather than wearable life jackets. They are meant to be thrown to someone in distress rather than worn continuously. These devices typically provide buoyancy to assist individuals who are in the water but may not be suitable for prolonged use or for those who cannot swim. Type IV PFDs are often used in conjunction with other flotation devices for added safety.
The recommended average refrigerator temperature for storing food safely is 37-40 degrees Fahrenheit.
