My plastic panel on my pontoon boat was old and faded. So I milled some teak to 1/4 inch and used the old panel for a template. Teak is a nice wood to work with, sands and shapes easily the wood feels almost oilly.
I left out the cigarette lighter, quit smoking one year ago.

So what are you going to plug your searchlight into.

The bottom left port is a socket for power, so I can still use that for search light and charging. I felt a sense of power to remove the cigarette lighter, cigarettes had a big hold on my life, no more.
