Buck rub, get you a piece of plywood that you can move around. Mount holders to it. Sit in seat and move it around so yo can get best fit. Might need a couple of sand bags or something to hold it where you can put a rod in it. Like G said about 6 in in front of and level with knees seems to be most comfortable and easiest to set hook. I had some mounted forward in my old boat, found myself leaning forward all the time so I could reach them. Just killed my back after about half a day.
Making a bracket, moving finder more to center and up would make it much easier to see and more comfortable also.
