Currently just have my pump and controls and light hardwired from power supply cable. Looking to install an outlet and switch so I can use an extension cord to plug in my pump and the light switch to turn on and off the light, all while having power to the stove continuously, unless I turn off at the main panel in the garage. Anyone have a schematic that would help me with the wiring.

Does this schematic work?

Yup that will work. The outlet will be powered 100% and the light will only work off the switch.
