Anchor winch teak base

My boat has had few different brands of anchor winch’s poorly fitted over the years and I’m just fitting a new different one , I’ve had to re fiberglass the existing holes and drill new ones , the deck does t look to good in this area now , so I was thinking about setting the winch on teak base that will hide the old holes , tje boat does have a lot wood on it so it won’t be out of place ,the boat will be mostly kept on the inland water ways, with a few trips out each year onto the salty stuff , is this a bad idea for an anodised aluminium winch to be sat upon a teak pad ? I don’t want to set up any corrosion, as I said I’m going to be in fresh water most of the will I be ok ? , at some point I might fit synthetic teak deck and that will hide it but for now I was hoping this might be acceptable ?? Here Is picture of what I was thinking that’s just scrap plywood but would use teak or similar View attachment 153531
Our boat used to have teak decks. Any aluminium such as windlass, genoa tracks and aluminium toerail had corrosion on the underside as a result of sitting in wet teak.
We replaced the pad under our windlass with a teak pad but we glassed over it and filled and faired. The whole,deck was then painted with Awlgrip
