You don't need to. :-)

If a swamped boat is in the water, reach under water and open the drain
plug. Lifting the boat out of the water slowly, starting at the end
opposite to the drain hole will cause the water to pour out through the
hole anyway, even if you can't lift it completely out of the water so
that the drain plug clears the water.
