1990 Mariner Magnum 40hp, can't get the lower unit to detach

[MarinerMan14]

I took off the bolt underneath the lower unit fins. There were two bolts wedged into the top of the upper unit holding the lower unit on which are loosened. I can't get the lower unit to come off. Additionally, I don't see the linkage for the gear shifter anywhere to disconnect it. Can you help?

Remove trim tab, one is hiding there. Shift linkage is a splined shaft the just disconnects as you lower the unit.
