NE Dory Drain Plug

First Post,,, Searched but couldn't find an answer,,, Has anyone installed a Drain Plug in the NE Dory.  If so would you install in the transom or forward? I'm going to keep it on a shore station and not sure if sitting water will drain aft? I can adjust the station, to an extent. Here is what I'm thinking,,, Thanks in advance,

RE: NE Dory Drain Plug

   Amidships is the lowest point in the dory. What angle will the boat be stored at? I think that's the critical piece. Might be able to get enough angle to drain everything either forward or back, or you'll have to have a water proof cover or put up with standing water

I once had a boat with autobailers and no drain plug: they were located amidships, and when the boat was level on a trailer, the water drained out through them. The boat had to be completely level in every sense, however.
