Yanmar seawater exhaust bleeder plug
I am confused. I have a brand new Yanmar (installed on landlocked boat 15 years ago) 2ym15. Recently pre launch I had a mechanic start it up and check it out. He told me to replace this with a solid plug which I have been searching for locally and now today on line.

What exactly does this do and why was a draining plug installed if a sold plug is needed. While awaiting the right plug can this draining plug be used and are there ramifications to using a draining plug temporarily? Engine is seawater/antifreeze cooled.
