A drain plug will only work if the boat isn't in the water. If the boat is in the water the water pressure on the outside of the boat will prevent water from draining from the boat. You will still need to bail water or use some sort of pump to do the job. Putting a drain plug in the bottom of the stern would work the best for at least the following reasons:
1) This is the lowest part of the boat and thus would drain all of the water out of the boat.
2) A plug anywhere else would cause drag in the water.
3) A plug anywhere else could more easily get caught or damaged on rocks, brush and etc. This could cause the plug to leak or even come loose.
