I have a 1992 Yamaha 85hp TLRQ outboard. I have water in the middle and bottom cylinders. More in the bottom than the middle. Top cylinder looks good and appears to be clean, seems to be firing ok. I replaced the head gasket and head cover gasket and did find water in those 2 areas. Replaced per mfg specs via service manual. Original head gasket looked good to me, no blow by. Started it up, same problem. It idles fine before and after gasket replacement. Under load it bogs when you try and throttle up. But idles like a champ. Water in the bottom plug has a milk shake look to it. I'm good with motors but outboards are fairly new for me. Can someone help me out, where is that water coming from????
