Best thing is it it works better than I thought and looks good.
Took a few days to think it through.
The wood brackets, I patterned using paper and tape. Then ground to get a good tight fit at the boat, there are several angles I had to match to fit the window frames.

And also my copper 1/4 " windshield washer line runs thru a hole in that wood.

One long 3" SS square drive deck screw through the side of the wood ear to secure it. then a small glued on block to the eared block to properly space the outer shades.
Outer shades are standard length 36". Inner I cut down to 35.5"

I have a long 12 inch drill bit that can while drilling form an arc, otherwise It would have been very difficult to drive that screw sideways, the wood is too hard being African Mahogany, has to have a hole.
Only other idea was maybe 90* angled drill.
