I'm looking at a 1999 C90 Yamaha, that the power head
color is a lighter shade color than the exterior, doesn't
appear to be recently painted, owner claims low hours.
Compression is 75# all three cyl cold, lower unit oil is
dark.

Re: Yamaha power head color

Well, I'm wondering if maybe this motor has been repowered.
I don't know if the factory powerheads were a different color
on some models.

Re: Yamaha power head color

Same exact motor as mine, seems all parts of my motor, inside and outside are the same Yamaha Metallic Blue/Grey color. Maybe ask the guy if the power head has been replaced? Upon careful inspection of all nuts, bolts, parts, does it appear that major work has been done? Is it a deal-breaker if the powerhead has been replaced, so long as it runs fine? Good Luck!
