    What's the technique to torque lower unit bolts

    since there's no room for a traditional torque wrench socket?

    Where a socket cannot be utilized.... obtain a Torque Adapter Wrench (examples shown below).

    The simplest method is to set the torque adapter at a 90 degree angle to the torquewrench.... and torque to specification (90 degree angle is critical, BTW).

    Examples that may be suitable:
