    94' merc 200hp low comp

    I have a 200 hp merc with a rebuilt powerhead that has 8 hours on it. Problem is one cylinder has 60lbs of compression. the cyl head is not dark colored like the others and the cyl walls are slightly worn. can that one cyl just be honed and new piston put in? and why did it happen?
