CAT 3116 Water Heater Line Removal
I did see a diagram which shows the bottom port having a plug with part number 9S-4185, but it was a bit confusing because the part shows "threaded" but the picture isn't. https://parts.cat.com/en/mustang/9S-4185
Similarly, for the top port I found a diagram with part number 9S-8005. Says threaded but picture doesn't match.

Here are the locations on the engine with the water heater:
Here are the corresponding locations with the plugs on the engine without the water heater:

Thanks. I'll get a couple of plugs based on the info in my original post. I hope the threads are all correct but luckily they only cost a few dollars.

If you can, use pipe dope on the plug threads before install, not the tape, they are pipe threads so should seal well even with the offshore ones.....
It acts as more of a lube/minor sealer that keeps the fitting easily removable down the road. Sometimes the tape can help to split a fitting, that is why I avoid it if I can, but if not don't overtighten..........
