I used a bit and ratchet. Don't remember the size (no longer have have the boat)

Worked and fit easier than a screwdriver for me.

Drag link socket might be your best bet.

My outboards have lower ends with slotted/square head plugs. Not sure what make you have so maybe see if they still have the proper washer as well. I have found that replacing the plug every few years with new washer (plastic/brass/metal material per manufacturer spec) helps with keeping water out.

No clue what size you need but I once got one of these by accident from Japan.

impact screwdriver is your friend, just a smart tap with a regular hammer does the trick.
