How do you fix a cylinder with low compression on an outboard?

This all depends on why it has low compression. If the rings are worn out, the motor should be rebuilt. If one of the valves is bad, re grinding it or replacing them is the fix. Perform a cylinder leakage test to confirm it. You will probably need to take it to a shop for this, but unfortunately, there usually are no quick fixes for low compression.

What should you do when a compression test reveals that compression is below average and the reason for a motor not working?

Low compression will not cause an engine to not run. It may not run efficiently but it will run. Low compression on all cylinders is caused by wear, and can only be fixed by overhauling the engine. Low compression on just one cylinder can be a blown head gasket, burnt valve, or a broken ring on that cylinder. I also depends on what you mean by "below average". An engine with lots of miles may very well have a compression reading that is below the factory specifications and not be cause for alarm. It depends on how much below specs that compression is. In any case, the only fix is to open the engine up.
