I have a similar setup. It's a flat SS plate welded to the top of my compression post. The post then slides through a hole in the deck (plate stays above the deck) and then down into a sleeve which is welded to a shoe/saddle in the bilge on top of the keel. The aluminum mast deck plate/shoe bolts on to of the flat SS plate.
I was just going to coat/paint a couple of coats of epoxy on both of the surfaces.

Would this not work?
