I have seen a couple of references to cylinder #2 (on an OMC V6) as being a bit different. For example, people mention problems showing up first in cylinder #2, as in "if you don't [do something correctly] you will blow cylinder #2."

Also, cylinder #2 apparently has different size high-speed jets (larger) in its carburetor.

Which cylinder is cylinder #2?

Why does cylinder #2 warrant all of this special attention?
