Something this useful got to have a downside...
On a whim I bought a tray for under the seat. My wife want storage and she doesn't like the little cubby hole open glove box. Besides I mounted the fire extinguisher in the glove box.
So something this useful has to have a down side. Please advise. M |

The only downside I see is it won't hold my 12pack on ice.

That is what the fold down back seat and the strapped Yeti cooler is for. Photo incoming next time I put it on.

Re: Something this useful got to have a downside...
Only a couple downsides that I can see, and neither one's really a big deal.
1) When charging, a lot of guys leave the seat up so that the hydrogen can vent properly. Do I do it? Usually only when I'm working on a cart and the seat's off anyway. 2) You're gonna have to move the tray every time you want to check on the batteries or add water - the tray (for some folks) would make it less likely that they'd keep an eye on the batteries since you can't see them now when you lift the seat. Like I said, not big stuff, just the fact that you'll have to move it for maintenance. |

Re: Something this useful got to have a downside...
One of the pros other than storage is it acts as a shield between the seat and the batteries. One of my buddies had one until one of his batteries exploded. Melted the tray but saved the seat.

Re: Something this useful got to have a downside...
Typically battery maintenance is forgotten once these trays are installed.....

Re: Something this useful got to have a downside...
I can see that happening, but Scotty won't happen here. I have weekly and monthly maintenance on my calendar. I also don't have the tray in unless we are going some where. I have a cleared shelf not 3 feet from cart just for tray. Just pop it in and we are off. Tools, flashlight, duct tape, bungies, sunglasses etc...

Re: Something this useful got to have a downside...
Lol. For the average consumer I would think yes, the batteries might be out of sight out of mind. I still checked the batteries once a month though with the tray.

Re: Something this useful got to have a downside...
maybe you could cut the bottom out of the tray and replace it with a piece of clear Lexan. that way you could at least remember there's battery's down there.
