So, really happy with the precision mount at the console, product is amazing, but wanted the bow graph lower than it would sit on the bow plate. Basically a piece of starboard with cut outs for the arms and wires, and the gimbal mount bolted to the underside of that with two 3/4 backing plates. It's actually rock solid and sits at the perfect height.
Nice! Is starboard easy to cut and shape?

Yes, very easy to work with.
Looks pretty good. I would also consider the Cisco systems mount with a longer post. 2017-05-23 16.00.26.jpg

Structurally it's not the most stout stuff, but with a backer like the OP mentioned will work fine and his setup looks decent.
Also it's probably pretty low cost compared too, Cap.
Delrin or canvas phenolic is a lot harder, but not as easy to work with or near as inexpensive....
