Two things I'd suggest checking:

- What's the power rating (and the fuse capacity as well) for that outlet? Compare this to the amps required by any 12V electric heater you might consider.

- More importantly: How much of a constant drain on the electrical system is the cart's generator able to handle and still keep the battery up to snuff charge-wise? I don't know that they're able to handle much more than the basic electrical system (lights, etc.) which most people have on their carts.....but I defer to others who have more specific knowledge.

Personally, we have a Coleman GolfCat propane heater that we use when it's REALLY cold outside. It's not necessarily for everyone - some won't like it from a safety consideration standpoint.....operating a propane heater in your golf cart. Fits in one of your cup holders. I put a small bungee cord through the handle then to two points under the dash to help keep it firmly in place. It tends to be a bit top heavy.
