Replacing 12 Volt Cigarette outlet on 226/228

Greetings
Both my 12 volt cigarette outlets are not functioning on the boat. Yes, I checked fuses but I think it's more like they just corroded out. Has anyone replaced their outlets on these models? I am thinking the best way is to pop those screw caps off and unscrew those plastic side panels. Is there a better way? Thanks for any Input yall can provide.

I have not replaced the 12-volt outlets, but something to think about is if you don't use both replace one with a usb jump drive connected to your radio. I did this and put all my songs on the jump drive and have endless music.

Agreed. I would, and probably will at some point, replace the cigarette lighter with a USB charger or something similar to charge up your devices and/or as mentioned above, be able to listen to music.
