Hot Water ByPass Fitting

On my 2003 Dutchman Lite 26qb, near the water pump are these 2 pull pins. Can I assume that these are ByPass valves, and this is how I bypass the Hot Water tank for when I want to winterize the unit?
Due to how the HW tank is installed, I cant actually see the back of the tank. These pull pins are next to the Water Pump, and about 3' from tank.

If not, then does anybody know If and Where the HW by pass is?

That looks more like some type of low point drain setup. ARe there two pipes sticking out from the bottom of the trailer that correspond to the two blue pipes going down through the floor?
HW bypass looks like this.

There is a panel right under the oven, and I noticed that the panel is right about where the HWT would be. Pulled out the 4 screws and There It Is, the back side of the HWT. And, there is where I found the bypass valve. Thanks for the info provided. And yes, the 2 pull rings I pictured are Low Point drains.
