I need to replace the throttle control housing on my 20 HP merc and can't find anything in the online manual. Has any one done this? I'm not sure where to start.... I'm pretty sure it's not that complicated but don't want to hear ,"you should've done this first". I'm pretty sure the pull start housing has to come off along with "obvious" the throttle control "tiller handle". There are two bolts that hold the housing on and the top bolt is no problem to get to but the bottom one looks near impossible to get a wrench or socket on the nut. I'm mechanically inclined but have never done much work on outboards. Thanks.

The previous owner put a hose clamp on it to hold it together.
