I'm also considering this lock nut style plug from Perko:

Any pro's and con's to consider between the two different styles? Or is it purely down to personal preference?

Thanks!

Since you asked this question a couple of years ago, I guess your transom style drain installed with the flange on the inside hasn't fallen apart yet  

Old thread in the link below

If it's in there and sealed good and you're worried about your mounting  screws pulling out of the fiberglass (I'm guessing they're wood type screws, screwed into the fiberglass  and not a through bolted setup) why not just remove the screws, drill the holes all the way through and use something like Stainless Steel panhead, round head or button head type machine screws with washers and nylock nuts on the inside, all sealed with your favorite sealer.

It won't fall out due to water pressure like you're worrying about in the previous thread or from screws pulling out.

Otherwise I'd say it would be a personal preference type thing if you're replacing the whole thing

Things have indeed held up without any problems in the two years since that last thread of mine. I do notice a bit of movement of the flange when at times I unscrew the drain plug after it's been screwed in very tightly. So I do want to re-bed/secure the fitting properly to put my mind at ease. Also, the current drain is 1/2" NPT, not the factory 3/4" NPT. I installed a drain hose for the oil sump some time ago. The smallest hose that would do the job does not fit through the 1/2" NPT hole, but should fit through the 3/4" NPT hole - which would make the job of changing oil somewhat easier. So I'll probably replace the current drain regardless of concerns about leaks etc.
