I have an 1988 Outrage 18 with a 1988 Yamaha 175-HP outboard. It seems the motor came with the boat from USA to England. The problem is I cannot find out what color it is. It has not been re-sprayed and is a graey-blue, not the marine blue of the period in England. Can anybody help. Thanks David.

David:
If you email Sue Lodel at Twin Cities Marine, she maybe able to help you out. Besides being a great Whaler dealer she is a wiz on Yamaha outboards. She is the parts manager at the dealership.

DAVID,
If the YAMAHA 1988 models were the same color as the 1987 models, then what you are looking for in a spray can is :
YAMAHA Touch-up Paint MARINE SILVER # LUB-87PNT-SL-VR.
Check with the YAMAHA dealer to make sure they used the same color back then for both years. If they did, that's the number.
I do not think it is available anymore from YAMAHA, but the dealer may have some old stock or would have a replacement from another company.

David: Don't forget to clearcoat. Makes all the difference.
Read the instructions regarding application, it's a bit different than applying your base color.
I used Tempo Metalic Silver #6969, and Clear/Depth Coat # 6995 on my '88 70 HP Yamaha.
Came out awesome.

You're welcome. I've seen this stuff at West Marine but can't find it on their site. Iboat Megastore has it though on this page and others:

Funny thing is Yamaha has 3 colors you can buy from them. Blue, silver/blue, & white. All pre 97? U.S. Yamahas are silver/grey. Some others like the older "C" models were the European blue color with the euro decals.....rare to see. The newer yamahas are a more silver/charcoal than silver/blue yet you CAN'T get that color from Tempo or Yamaha. My 98 needed a touchup and I had to use the silver/blue on the lower and it was substantially different. I went to a paint shop and had it color matched in a spray can to do it right.
Sorry for the rant.....you need the Tempo #6969 for our engine.

The dark silver is also known as Gold(I think) at the dealer. It is for the limited edition model which I can't remember the name(XL?) but it had no HP listed. In the brochure it just said like 220+. Weird that they make that color yet they don't make the white that so many 9.9 4 strokes were made in. The blues that Tempo shows are not available in the US.
