Any Ideas On How To Lock Down The Seat?

Rickochet · 03-31-2013, 07:36 AM

During the summer my '07 TXT is stored during the week in a public parking lot at lake marina with about 40 other carts. Last year we were spared any vandals and theives but I think it is just a matter of time until they strike. My concern is thieves going after the batteries or cables so I would like to add a seat lock.

Has anyone done this?

This was done so cart could be transported on a trailer backwards without having seat fly off, but it might make a lazy thief move on to easier pickin's.

I found that on youtube. Looks good as long as the thieves don't know what the knob does. Perhaps locating the knob in a more descrete area, like under the floor or in a wheel well? Or maybe in the bag well or under the flip seat? I also tow my cart backwards and a latch would emliminate one ratchet strap. I have one of those latches on my garage door that I never use. The downside might be making it difficult to remove the seat to do things like checking the battery water.

Thanks for the ideas. Nice looking cart BTW.

My bright idea is a hood catch set from an XJ. There is a catch at both sides of the hood. A release cable could be hidden practically anywhere.
