I agree with others, probably took about 4 hours to do the entire install taking my time.

I did not use the blue mounting bracket, it is not needed and further pushed the controller to the back of the cart.

Just take time planning rather then just jumping right in and it will be fine.
Would you mind sharing a photo of your install? If one already exist I have not found it.
I followed the Alltrax instructions and routed, then re-router and again re-routed the harness and could never get it to the point of being able to put the back cover on. I did not use the blue bracket.
I know that many people leave it off, but I don't feel comfortable doing that, mainly because of mud. I'm willing to take it all apart and start over if needed.

EDIT: I GOT LOST. So sorry. I thought I was in another thread. Did not mean to hijack this one.

Your question is related since both his 2017 and my 2010 have the electronics on the back of the battery bucket although the 2917 has more room due to not having an OBC.

Even though the XCT is waterproof, I did not want to lose my environment cover either as it also keeps dirt, mud, etc splashes out of that area which is not good for electrical connections in general.

I only found the picture below (work was still in progress), I did have to extend the negative charging wires from the OBC (not needed on a 2017) to Controller B-.

As You can see from those green wires, I did not have any cross-link or primary wire of that gauge at home at the time so I used stranded THHN I had available.



As I recall I had to "zip tie" the bottom of the plastic cover in order to keep it in place.


There is a thread with many different installation pictures, some people removed the metal plate entirely and mounted everything to the back plastic cover...

When I converted to Lithium I mounted the controller inside the battery compartment so now only my Solenoid protrudes through the OBC opening into the old space where the controller was located.

If you look around Sergio picture, I have found it easier to mount upside down, the wires will reach easier. Drill your own holes through the aluminum mounting plate and use 1/4-20 hardware to bolt in place. With decent mechanical knowledge youre looking at 2 hours max first time. After a few times it takes me 30 minutes or less. Download the instructions from alltrax website.
