Bolting in Marathon Battery Tray instead of Welding?
This is my first cart, and first post, so please go easy. I have a 1992 EZGO Marathon that I picked up for $150. Everything seems to be in decent shape, except for the battery tray, which is nearly gone. I can do alot, but I can't weld. It looks like I could bolt a tray in with a little fabricating. Are there reasons why I shouldn't do this?

Thanks for the quick response! I should've mentioned that I was going to use flat head bolts so that they are flush.

Just make sure to coat everything with a good epoxy primer or POR type product to prevent it rusting out again.

I would say you prolly can bolt it in. OTOH, if you can find a welding guy to do it for cheap....and of course "cheap" is relative, but welding would be a better option. But, if that's not in the cards....."Then a man's got to do what a man's got to do."

Thanks for the responses. I have a friend that can weld, but he's 100 miles away. I think I'm going to try bolting it in.

Were you able to bolt the battery racks in, I have a 1993 Marathon that's needs some repair on battery racks to.
