Aftermarket drain plug
 
Who makes the hex head drain plug for a bravo 1 that you can use a socket on? I've seen them before but forgot where.

Imco has them, that's where I get mine from. https://imcomarine.com/cal_store/drain-screw.html

As a related note, if people would like a better fitting screwdriver for their normal drain plugs, these Snap On outdrive plug screwdrivers work well until someone doesn’t return it. Doh ! Also, real large headed screw drivers work well too.

I have one of these. They do work well. Wanted to mention that if you look at this picture, where the metal meets the handle, there is also a place to slide a wrench on to help turn it if the screw is really tight. I believe it’s a 7/16 inch wrench. Thanks for posting.

hydrodynamic superior when the slot is aligned with the water flow (LOL)... seriously through, with the right tool, and the Snap on driver works great (* there are two bit widths available so get the right one), fresh gaskets - you don't need to pound the plug on to create a proper seal. The slot works well for what it is meant to do + the surface area of the slot provides good bite for the proper tool (you can fk up any fitting with bastardized tools forced to make do)

Merc uses a slotted plug so morons don't put a ratchet on it and tighten it to high heaven and strip it out. You can get it plenty tight with the slotted head. I've never had a problem getting one out.
