i cant get to them from the inside. also the "standard" plug doesnt fit into the bottom hole its a little bit to small but if you put your fingers in it you can feel that it is threaded as though something screws into it. the bottom hole is less than an inch from the bottom of the boat. i added some pics of my boat and the problem i have

DUMB QUESTION OF THE DAY, ok so i have never owned a "real boat" before. i have only had jon boats and kayaks, but in a trade recently i got a 15 foot sportscraft made in 1971 with a mercury 650 on it. now my question is when i look at the stern of the boat under the outboard there is two holes one on top and one on the bottom about 4 inches apart. i understand one is the ballast (i dont know which one). now the boat didnt come with a plug so i had to buy one. it only fits in the top hole. ok understandable, so the bottom must be the ballast, Right? now where i got confused is when it rained the other day and the boat filled with water it started to poor out of the bottom hole when i lifted the front of the trailer off the ground... i dont know im confused. i feel that if i put it in the water that it will fill with water and sink. please help. im a beginner.
