Yes, a dead cylinder can be fixed by checking and rectifying any defective component that falls among some of the reasons that result in a dead cylinder; in order to fix a dead cylinder, you will have to diagnose the cylinder by using a compression gauge to test whether there are any cylinders with no compression. Usually, a leaking gasket.


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.

Remove number one spark plug and squirt some motor oil into the cylinder. Now do another compression test. If the compression goes up considerably in number one cylinder you probably have bad/worn or cracked piston rings. If the compression doesn't change much you probably have burned or bent valves.
