AlphaOne Trim Release Valve

HELP! Can someone tell me where is the Trim Release Valve located on my 06 Merc 4.3 AlphaOne I/O engine? I understand it is usually a very small screw somewhere on the outdrive, but can't seem to find it...

Never seen 1 on a Merc Outdrive through....

Thank you guys for the info, no wonder I couldn't find one!

Now, is there any way to raise the drive up (by hand) in the event the trim gets stuck ? ? ?

Pull the pin that attaches the trim cylinders to the back of the outdrive.
