Hi I recently purchased a Yamaha 9.9 & mariner 9.9 2 stroke, both motors in running condition & both lower units are completely identical. I set them up side by side on stands and have begun some routine maintenance starting with draining the gear oil. One came out a yellow mustard color and the other pitch black. I've heard the mustard color means I have water in the oil but i'm not sure how easily this problem can be fixed or where it might be coming from. Also I can't seem to figure out what kind or brand of gear oil i'm supposed to go out and get to fill them back up. Any help at all would be great, kind of lost.
