Yes, it was a 36 volt with a 10.5hp motor. With a high speed motor pulling more load. The wires should have been changed out to 4 gauge instead of 6 gauge.
When I traded it in I told them the only way I could see to salvage the cart was to re-install a lower hp motor that would draw less juice or to go and replace the wiring.
Lou (service manager) called yesterday and said they would pick up my new Yamaha this morning and take it in to install the covers, pin-stripes, etc.
He went on to say that they are reimbursing me the $100 I spent out of pocket for the repairs that should have been covered under the Yamaha warranty had it been in my name. Lou also said that the warranty is all worked out and would explain everything to me when he comes to get the cart picked up this morning..............
If in fact Discount GCW does make things right I will let everyone know.
