Saw some nice pole installs on newer boats using a SS bracket that has a rubber
ball. The radar pole sits on the ball and needs minimal support by the stern
rail. Two guys used these to add an outboard engine davit with purchase.
Looked like Edson fittings.

Ahoy Steve, I have had very good results with Titebond III, waterproof exterior
glue. Rough up surface to get rid of old glue and clamp. Then if able screw
with flat head brass or stainless screws. Screwed and glued.
I would like to encourage you to register your boat and yourself at the photo
Titebond III is water based for easy cleanup, and is waterproof when
cured. You could also use epoxy as long as the joint will not be exposed

Nope, it is just a box. Sits on a piece of plywood. The major issue is the
