Has anyone with an F44 drilled a hole into the keel?

I am curious if anyone with an F44 has drilled a hole in the keel to flush out the stagnant water. If so, where did you drill it? What method did you use to get rid of the water in the keel? I found out that a hole was drilled and plugged externally on mine many years ago and I am trying to figure out how I want to drill inside of the hull to pump out the stagnant water. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Have an exterior garboard drain in my F-32 keel. PO added it. Now that I have had the boat a couple winters, I think it was a good upgrade.
I get it blocked nose down for a week or two while I drain it and get all my crap off for the season, then i get them to raise the nose a bit with another block and pull the keel plug. Gets it nice and dry before winter comes.
