How do you secure your cart

penn1 · 02-19-2011, 08:29 AM

Golf Cart Security. Thats what I'm concerned about. On my 94 Marathon, A simple key switch, that can easily be bypassed by lifting the seat and jumping wires.

How do you make sure someone doesn't drive away with your cart?

Thanks for the help.

I chain my pit bull to it.

Take the hot feed to the switch cut and but a house hold 39 cent light switch in it some where... The better you hide the switch the harder it is to find...

Problem is, how much pita is it worth to us to lock them up. I know if I leave mine for an extended time I have a braided cable and lock. I also have the unique ignition to at least slow someone down.

I made room in my tool shed for my cart and lock the door. Now you have to go through a locked gate to get to the locked shed. But a**holes who want to steal it can go through the locked gate and door. So I have it insured for more than it is worth and my 9mm is in my bedside nightstand. Other than that I don't protect it.

I have two thick cables I use to lock the cart. I flip the run/tow switch under the drivers seat to tow. Then I run a cable around the seat handles and the steering wheel with a larger lock. I run another cable through the wheels and around a tree with another large lock. There isn't anyone at the camp in the fall during the week and I don't want it to roll away.

My brother in law told me about a guy who lived three houses down from him who had his Polaris, on a trailer, stolen right out of his front yard . He had a cable through the Polaris wheels and then through the trailer wheels and had driven his truck up over the the tongue of the trailer. They somehow got the trailer out, cut the cable or lock and stole the whole rig while he slept inside his house, with two large dogs! And it happened before 11PM. In today's economy stealing has become much more prevalent.

I was lucky and found a wheel lock at an auction I was at, only problem is it does not fit the current wheels I have on my cart due to tires being to big.
It's being redone as we speak with new whhels and tire and hopfuly it will work for me.
