Richard, just a suggestion.
I noticed one thing that I would not be comfortable with in the picture
of your battery mount.
That is the hose clamp battery hold down.
That setup puts a ground source much too close to the positive battery
terminal in my opinion.
Any stray tool, or metal object could very easily cause a very serious
electrical short circuit.
I=99d much prefer using a heavy plastic zip tie or two, in place
of the hose clamp,which is what I actually use.
