Has anyone removed the starter from a Mercury 35HP 2 Stroke that had the bracket that's underneath the starter? It seems impossible to get to. The bracket is #36 and is held on by bolt #37. Who in the heck designs this stuff????

Success!!! The diagram was slightly different than reality. Bolt #38 actually goes in from the top down. If you pry the starter outward it allows enough clearance to get a socket in there with an extension to take the bolt out. I magnetized my socket so the bolt wouldn't drop into the hard to reach places.
