Man, I've been drilling 1-1/4" holes and putting UF/WP connectors through the wall...

Sort of wondered if it should actually be UF cable too ...I've used UF in the city (just so my perfect record of passing inspections remains untarnished, in case it get argued against me...)

I've also seen holes drilled into the backs of WP boxes to mount rather than the flimsy ears that come with the boxes (and eventually strip out... ) With silicone liberally applied to the screw hole, would this be a kosher practice ?
