    OK I have worked on larger OMC’s of that brand and vintage, and they unhook under the powerhead. DO NOT TAKE YOUR POWERHEAD OFF.

    Grab the shifter, work it back and forth whilst looking under the front of the powerhead in the lower pan in front. You will see the shifter shaft move where it is hooked up.

    I forget exactly since it’s been awhile, but you can see a bolt (on the starboard right side)that needs undone and I think the shaft holding the shift connector slides to the side to release the connector.

    Sorry I cannot be of more help.
