Default 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.
