Control box removal.

[Alex from GA]

My friend has a 20' Seaswirl with a 140 Evinrude. It quit so we towed it to his dock to work on it. I jumped the solenoid and it started so I narrowed it down to the switch or the control box neutral switch. While trying to remove the control box it started so I figured the neutral switch is bad. My problem is how to remove the box from the side of the boat. It's a walk around cutty and the control is on the starboard side. I removed the 3 screws from the cover and couldn't get it off. I found a slot under the control handle and turned it to try to find a screw but couldn't see very well. I which position should the control be to get the screw out and what tool do I use? Thanks.

Most of the control handles need to be moved to the full forward position. Once there the center button (throttle only) is removed and then a screw or bolt can be removed to remove the handle
