MC-1 Magnetic drain plug question

[hivoltg]

I have a 77 Wellcraft suncruiser 2000 and I have been doing all the maintenance I can since I dont have a crystal clear picture of the history on this boat. I was told the outdrive was just rebuilt. I changed gear fluid and it looks good during the impeller & housings replacement. I noticed my lower fluid drain plug is the standard non-magnetic type. Should I replace it with a magnetic type I keep seeing on the alpha 1's? Im big into preventative maintenance and simple solutions.

What I have now:


What I want to replace it with:

Interesting, but not very helpful. If you're working on the drive, we need to know what drive it is, doesn't matter what boat it's in.
