Here’s an alternative to fill the hole in the counter if you remove your inoperative or unused alcohol/electric stove top (‘85 Mariner). You can use a portable hot plate and stow it when it’s not being used to give you more counter space/prep area. “Custom made” over the weekend and secured with silicon/caulk adhesive.

Nice! Yes, those portable induction units work extremely well and are cheap. I did something similar when I removed my alcohol/electric stove on the previous boat. I was adding ceramic to the counter top so I adjusted the opening to suit a portable unit.

That is nice!
