Why do most smaller personal boats have holes that you need to plug before going in water?
I assume since we don’t permanently plug them since water inevitably gets in during operation that needs to be drained. Where does that water come from? Why is it designed that way?
In theory, if a boat that has removable is in water long enough without coming out to drain, would the boat sink because of the water that came in during use?

Smaller boats have drain plugs because the assumption is they come out of the water. So draining them or washing them and draining is easy to do. It’s not designed for use while on water. This way you don’t need pumps.
