Why finish the project with a twist lock adapter if this is one of the weak points?
Exactly my thoughts last night, since the money end is the Smartplug plug (assuming the cordset from Walmart is delivered--instead of masks), then the plan is to replace the twistlock end with a RV plug (with terminal screws with locking lugs).
If the cordset is really a box of masks, then the plan is to purchase a new RV power cord with molded plug and Smartplug plug separately. After talking to my buddy in Newport Beach last night (he's a big Duffy Boat fan and putts around Lido) he agreed twistlock plugs should be avoided when possible. LOL, he said Smartplugs were an option when he bought his boat a few years ago, which he docks at home.
