It depends on your land title. I live on a lake and my title stipulates the end of my property line is where the water touches the shore. Other’s can have a fixed property line that may not coincide with the water line.

Here’s a link to rebuilding 1976 to 1992 Carbs for 6 hp OMC outboards. There are 3 video links in the article. The one on reassembling or the one on reinstalling should have carb setting information in it. https://www.boats.net/blog/johnson-6hp-outboard-carburetor-rebuild
