Spark plug corrosion?

Purchased a boat and motor back in July. 2000 Yamaha 60HP 2 stroke. Of course I did a few things (water pump, spark plugs, etc) and now 5 months later I was just checking under the cowling and I see corrosion around the spark plugs on the block. I had noticed that there was some type of gasket/ putty that was around them the first time I changed them but scraped it off. Anyone have any suggestions on how to stop this or why it’s happening? Maybe water in the cylinders??

Well as ive stated before, im no mechanic! But, i did notice the gasket and mismatched bolts when i purchased the boat. The motor just ran flawlessly on the test ride (and still does) so i went against my gut bc of the deal i got on the boat. So im hoping that ive caught the problem in time, will make the repairs and be a okay here in a few weeks. I do appreciate all the knowledge, never hurts to listen!
