Wired!!
I have been working on our son house and a golf cart the past week. I have actually been working on 2 carts. I have 1 loaded on the trailer to take back home in the morning to work on it at home next week and install some batteries I have for it.
I have the other one here at the beach that I picked up from Jeff who is a member here and I started on a complete rewire of it. I got it running and will finish it up next weekend when I get back. I plan on driving the Ramp truck back down here for the big car show in a few weeks so I can haul them both to the show.

Re: Wired!!
Nice looking cart. I would be tempted to paint it though.

Re: Wired!!
A flat fender jeep model would be nice
 Needs to have motors to all four wheels, though.

Re: Wired!!
Ok it's back up and running. I finished the basic wiring today. Still has some custom stuff to finish but it's on the ground and running.
Remote key switch is done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I45-zomvpKM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQizQ9vnZvc&t=1s

Re: Wired!!
I watched a video this morning about a sailboat with electric inboard motor (replacing the original diesel) running off 48v 8x6v batteries. I think they said it used a golf cart motor.
Recharged with windmill or shore power. Also had a 12v system for the cabin running off a solar panel.

Re: Wired!!
Jeff came and got the cart Monday morning. He was very happy with it. He has owned it almost 2 years and Monday was his first ride in it under it's own power. I think he will be very happy with it. If he doesn't sell it.

Re: Wired!!
I'm getting so frustrated that if you weren't so far away, I would try to get you to convert my Jeep to electric!
Take out the engine and a/t and bolt a motor up to the front of the transfer case, and put a rack of batteries under the hood ...?

What seems to be the trouble man. Just take a break from it. I wired up a Ezgo today that the owner fried all the wires to the lights. It took about 4 hours but I got him back up and running.

No break, we use it every day back and forth to the barn. Alternative would be another $15K-$20K for a side by side

Re: Wired!!
I have given thought to golf cart repair work over the years however there is one big cart dealer & repair already in town so I never went that direction. I don't golf so I have no idea if a 2nd repair biz could make it around here. Suppose I could buy a used one to fix up and resell now and then.

Re: Wired!!
I'll bet if the only repair option is through the dealer, that you can have a nice little side business fixing carts.

Re: Wired!!
I do OK. I make side money doing it. I like helping people out. I have flipped close to 300 carts I would think and fixed at least that many.
I have been offered jobs at cart shops but I don't want the head aches that go with it. I'm working on this one now and it's been a tough one. I was just going to add the shackles to the rear end to lift it enough to clear the rear tires and install a speed motor. 1.5 hr job. It's turned into a full week job now waiting on parts. The bushings where all froze up and I had to cut them out with my saws all. The motor wouldn't release from the rear end and I had to hammer it off. So now I wait on parts to reinstall it.

Re: Wired!!
Andy, I was actually responding to Boog, but I didn't make that clear. Pretty interesting though, what you do, and that particular cart looks like it's getting a thorough going-over from you.
