2. See #1 for reasons why not to pursue. 3. I called it crappy. I don't want the plans even if you send me money with them. 4. I'm not the best business person in the world, but I did retire at 49. How 'bout you? |

Re: Any New Ideas On Locking The Seat?
Hi Stang. PM sent. I like the idea of deterring a thief without having another hole drilled in the body of the cart. I know it's not thief proof, but a thief deterrent. And that's exactly what I am hoping to achieve.
I like to put the cart in Tow mode and pull the key and put in neutral when I stop, but anybody who knows carts can undo these things. So I need something else. The neutral thing already saved my cart once... It was in my front yard of all things! I left the key in the cup holder, went inside for 5 minutes for a soda. Came out and the cart had been rolled a few feet and the key was in the ignition... Whomever it was couldn't drive it so they tried pushing and evidently gave up. Must have seen me pull up otherwise I would imagine I would have seen them when I came back outside. Now, every time, key out and with me, neutral and tow mode. Thanks! |

Re: Any New Ideas On Locking The Seat?
Nothing is thief proof. I park my cart during the week in a public parking lot at a marina with about 40 other carts. My thinking is if you make your cart more thief proof they are going to another cart that is easier prey.
And I do not want an electric lock. What do you do if it fails locked? Already been down that road with electric pickup truck tailgate locks. |

Hey DaveTM, I'm just a turd hustler from central MS, but good news, I'm only 48. So, I may still be able to make it by 49. Wish me luck.

Re: Any New Ideas On Locking The Seat?
I started this thread seeking technical information. Could we please get this thread back on topic instead of being a testosterone filled pissing contest?

Re: Any New Ideas On Locking The Seat?
All of the people that I know that made an attempt used electrical functions. If you want a mechanical solution, perhaps you should look on youtube. There are several video's on there with mechanical locks. One of them makes the knob that moves the locks look like a choke pull. But being mechanical only, it has to be actuated by you and thus it has to be accessible to you (or anyone else who can see it) which kinda negates the point of it to begin with.

Re: Any New Ideas On Locking The Seat?
Well, to be manually actuated you have to be able to actuate it. This means there has to be something physical that you push, pull or in some way move to lock or unlock. If you have someone that really wants your cart, chances are he's watched you drive it. If he see's you doing something each time you get in it, he's going to know where you are doing it. If it is electrical and you just push a remote button, no one is the wiser. Perhaps you should look into adding a series of toggle switches that have to be on and off in a certain order to allow the ignition on.....if you follow what I mean. I had a friend do that in his Camaro years ago as he was afraid of theft
