Replacing the drain plug

Last season I noticed that the drain plug was rotating slightly in transom as I tightened or loosened the drain plug. Today I pulled the old plug out and was pleased to find that everything appears to be solid and dry. I'm going to install a new drain plug and was looking for a recommendation on what to use to seal the plug to the hull. (Here's the required pictures for Hammer)

Rick,
Personally, I would use 5200 or Boat Life. Would put these sealers on the screw threads as well as around the plug.

Definately use an adhesive type of sealer. 4200 or equivelant wouldn't provide the hold you need. You don't want that sucker coming off.

rotate the clock position so your screwing in fresh wood/glass, use 5200 and poke some in the old screw holes before you start

Randleman, never had a problem with 5200. Works great.

it should be like molassis on a cold morning( couldn,t think of any other soutern food to compare it to), it may drip, but not run off

Use 5200 for the plug, resealed mine this weekend, simple job.

EXACTLY! Even in 90*+ weather, never seen it run at all, muchless drip.
