A narrow, short 1/4″ drive socket on an extension should fit up through there to get that difficult one, whatever the heck the size is.

I’ll second what Frank said. On my ’72 Evinrude 25hp, I had the same front powerhead bolt that’s difficult to access. I used a 1/4″ drive socket, extension and universal joint to get at the bolt and get it out.
