Remove throttle and shift cable from Force 85 hp outboard

[webetics]

I'm moving one motor off my boat and another back on. trying to remove the throttle and shift linkage and the screws securing on the cables are hard to get to. The bottom cable I can get a standard screw driver on it, but the shift cable it's horizontal the the motor cover is really close to the flat screw to get a regular sized screwdriver on it? Even a compact screwdriver is a little too long. All suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Mark

Offset screwdriver ?

Or, drill a hole in the cowl. ?

Maybe take on old compact screwdriver and cut the handle down a bit....

As mention above, offset screwdriver, a smal welding pliers or some other typ of pliers that will reach down to the screw.

I found a right angle screwdriver on Amazon that should do the trick. I had a ratcheting wrench you could put a bit in but it would slip out. This has only 1 free side and you put your bit in and it won't fall out. Thanks for the ideas.
