Adding a wind turbine to my boat.

Catalina 27 Ladysmith
I have a new wind turbine I want to attach to the stern of my Catalina,
I bought an aluminum post, and was going to buy a bracket of some sort and use that to attach to to boat, on the back, and then I have two 1inch supports I intend to attach to the post and then to the railing, at the back to provide support.

Can anyone give me any ideas?
What brackets should I use, or what would you say I should do instead of what I'm thinking.
Thanks to everyone in advance.

I bought a mounting kit from emarine. It has rubber bushings for the main column and for both supports. Even with those rubber bushings, a lot of vibrations get transferred into the hull. Those vibrations are worse than the actual noise of the wind gen, and I have new bearings in my Air Breeze. Aft cabin is right below the mounting point.
