I have a Mercury control box (2004) date on it, that I am having trouble removing. I don't want to destroy it, but instead want to grease up the cables or change the cables if needed. I bought the boat used and I am not sure when they were last changed. I cannot get any of the three screwes on the face out. They all spin freely and will not come out, or even tighten. Is there some magic way to make this work? Am I missing something all together?

Through bolts mean that there are nuts on the back side. Hold them with a wrench.
