Broken Drain Plug on Water Pump

Took the boat out yesterday and noticed that the Bilge was running more that normal. Open up the engine hatch and immediately noticed a steady steam of water coming out of a drain plug that appears to be attached to the water pump on the SBR Merc. engine. Looking at the port engine it looks like it should be a light blue plug and I can see part of the remains of a light blue plug where the water is steaming out. Needless to say I shut the engine down and limped back in to port. Anyone know the name or part number for this plug or had a similar experience? Just spent an hour and West Marine but the parts guy wasn't in and didn't find anything similar on the shelf.

I change mine out every 3 years or so. I had this issue on my 310 and had to drill out once. Was a real pain when I was trying to winterize. As mentioned, a pack of 5 is pretty cheap and easy to change as maintenance.
@send_me glad you find them!
