UPDATE:
Soooo, I finally got around to building my unit. Here is all my stuff laid out:
Once I got down to building it, I realized that the battery box I ordered was too small, so..... back to the drawing board. I ended up deciding to go with a Pelican 1060 Micro Case ($30) since my 6000mah battery was pretty flat.
I ended up mounting everything to the Pelican case and then mounting the pelican case to the cut-up cutting board which I then attached to the Predator using Scotty gear tracs and some toilet flange bolts (thanks PolarPop for the heads up - they fit great).
I am very pleased with it. The entire unit is removable and theoretically transferable to any kayak with a gear trac system. When I'm hunting, in transit, or floating a shallow river, I simply don't take the unit with me. If I'm camping or leaving my kayak somewhere exposed to people or the elements, the whole thing comes off easily. I need to fill the hole the wires are going through with some sealant, but otherwise it's all good to go. And the Dragonfly display is beautiful. VERY clean and clear.
