I tried and tried to search for this but can't seem to get going in the right direction....

I have a 1996 225 evinrude ocean pro with "plastic" carbs.

Can anyone get me to a starting point for the intermediate mixture screws. From reading around the net, there are people stating anywhere from 2 1/2 turns out to 7-8 turns out, and some claiming 3 at the top, 4 at the middle, and 5 turns for the bottom two carbs.....

I'm sure this info is here somewhere, but the search will not put me on it...

Factory settings start at 5-1/2 turns out, the boat must be in the water, in gear and moving to adjust these so take someone with you to drive...

Yes. Starting point 5 1/2 full turns. Those screws have a very fine thread.
