48v 1996 Club Car DS

[Kolassus]

Hello everyone. I have a 96 Club Car DS 48v golf cart. I have spent a good amount of time rebuilding the cart. I have installed a new motor, speed controller, solenoid, F&R switch, batteries, heavy gauge wiring, etc. I have also installed a 6” lift kit and 23” tires with a street legal lighting kit. It is an entirely different machine from when I bought it.

So with that said, I would like to know the best way to protect the insides from weathering. I plan on doing some lite off-roading in it and want to make sure water or dirt doesn’t corrode or degrade all my hard work. Should I install a bottom plastic protector or something under the batteries to ensure the battery compartment stays dry during muddy outings? Any other advice? Thank you.

Someone just recently put a belly pan link in the lifted carts section. I think it comes down to how wild your gonna get in it. Obviously you dont want to submerge the motor or any other components. I think some of the thick corrosion inhibitor would be good for batteries and high amperage connections and I can say with my old boat I used Bosesheild T-9 on everything to keep it from corroding on any electrical connections and had good luck with that.
