You do not have to use a drain plug unless you have a particular reason. https://www.whalercentral.com/images/...s/1973.jpg Th other one is a cockpit drain and should be installed unless there is a wave taken overboard, etc. and then removed temporarily.

Do you need the bottom drain plug in,we are almost done a total restoration on this 1980 sport.Putting in the water in a couple of weeks we have never rode in it yet.
