My exhaust manifold drain plug(one on the underside...directly above the engine petcock) is AFU.

My local marina's arrogant parts "pro" not only couldn't help me...but questioned whether Mercury even MADE such a motor, so obviously no help.

Any idea where I can get a replacement...or can I fashion one from something found at a decent hardware/plumbing store?

depends, its a 1/8 pipe plug normally, unless its been oversized to 1/4 pipe plug.
just make sure its brass.

Ayuh,... As BD says,...
It's nothing but an 1/8", or 1/4" brass pipe plug....

Correct. I got mine at a local hardware store. Mine was 1/8"

Go to a different parts place.

Thanks for the help...Found a 1/8" brass plug at the local hardware store for $1.05. Went ahead and bought two just in case.
