2008.5+ Club Car Precedent 48v voltage reducer/converter mount location options
Good evening everyone!
My neighbors and I have the 2008.5+ Precedent carts with (6) 8v batteries. We're planning out the install for our MadJax 48v->12v DC power converters and fuse bus blocks, but have not decided on a location. Even in the madjax video they don't show where (and how) to mount the reducer on the precedent, they just mention rear frame. I've read dozens of threads, and learned a lot of info, but unfortunately I haven't seen a clear winning location, nor pictures of the mounted converters. We will be primarily running USB chargers, light kits, horns, and undercart lights on the converter. Here's the options I've gathered so far.
Are there any additional options I left out? Are there other pros/cons to be concerned with? Any tips/pictures on using a specific mounting location? Thank you in advance! |

If I had to do mine over I would mount it were a forum contributor named Dannyre mounted his on board charger. He build a shelf right above the motor and mounted it there. Right now I've got it in the glove compartment protected by a dash cover.

I think the location Club Car designed for the Precedent voltage reducer up front is the best:
http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/attac...r_location.jpgIt provides a good heat sink location and all of the wires you need to wire the reducer are located up front on the 12-pin harness. |

Where did you end up mounting you voltage reducer? I just ordered the same one and am looking for a place to mount it.

Re: 2008.5+ Club Car Precedent 48v voltage reducer/converter mount location options
We JUST decided on mounting locations this past week and mounted several of them, and was planning on updating the thread this weekend.
We decided to mount it on the front drivers side area (see pic). We drilled 3 holes (red dots) and bolted it on with washers and locking nuts. We felt it was a balance of ease of installation, good airflow to keep it cool, and wasn't too much in the open to get full of debris. We mounted our bus block in the front as well, on the inside area of that metal structure that we bolted the voltage reducer on. In fact, we mounted it right behind the area where the stock reducer normally mounts, between it and the front floorboard. We used an existing hole with a bolt with washer and locking nut. It's definitely hidden in there and shouldn't get much debris. I'll try to post a pic of the voltage reducer mounted this weekend. Let me know if you have other questions. |
