I have a 99 ficht 200hp I can only get it to drop an inch or two. I've read you need to release the clip. on my motor I dont see the clip, I see where the linkage is its a little metal rectangle with 2 bolts cant really get at one, when I take the one bolt out you can see it slide left to right but will not completely pull the linkage out.

What do I need to do? It looks like if I remove where the shift cable attaches it will let me pull it out.It doesn't seem right to remove the shift cable area.

Do I need to remove the 2nd bolt to drop the lower unit

please help
