If your '82 model DS is a DS1 then it was made by Spindrift as O'Day was only making DS2's in '82. I have an '84 Spindrift DS1 and I think the plugs (mine has 2) you mentioned are designed to drain the seat/bow/side air tank in the event that water gets in. Mine had some water and little specs of styrofoam last time I opened them. I think I had left a plug off while sailing and my leaky CB gasket let enough water in the floor of the boat to start seeping in... Maybe Gus or Bob know more as they also have Spindrift DS1's.
By the way, these, like your outside drain plug in back are standard issue Laser plugs in case you ever lose one.
