Hey Scottyb,
Thanks for the visual!
One question. What is the green wire? The instructions say it is the 36v from ignition. Looks like you have 2 wires.

How big of a fuse are you guys putting on the 48v from battery pack line?

Fishing Dude,
I'm looking at what you are suggesting, connecting the on/off for the converter to the solenoid. I'm not seeing a difference between the switch on or off and the posts on the solenoid. All posts show the same voltage in on or off..... Care the give a hint?!?!

If you want the converter to disconnect completely, substitute the 12v connections in the photo for 48v to the converter then no power will go to the converter with the ignition switch off.
Here is a redo with a new photo:

What wire feeds 48V switched power to the relay (in the battery compartment), or in the case of those who have a switched power wire input on the converter?

I used a single pole light switch under the seat. I used it to break the ground. Simple and $1

I run all of my accessories, with the exception of headlights, off of the reducer through a multiple input blue seas fuse bar with a separate negative buss bar. I used a toggle under the seat as a power up switch for the reducer.

I use the power up switch to avoid a small drain while the cart is stored for long periods. I don't mind a small drain on the power when I am on the island using the cart regularly; otherwise, I would have to constantly reset the stereo clock, etc. Just an thought if you are going to install any accessories with a memory feature.
