Good morning, all!

New resident and my Yamaha delivered this week.

What accessories or gadgets have you run across, for your cart, that you enjoy?

Bonus if anyone has an awesome suggestion as to how to mount an iPhone for GPS use.

Thanks, in advance.
USB ports, auto cancel blinkers, Bluetooth speakers

I like smaller diameter wheels and tires to LOWER the center of gravity, which increases acceleration and turning power. And I like an aftermarket muffler, which makes it run quieter.

In post #21 I mentioned I did a DIY, but I would be glad to help you, I still have film, and you can can see my cart before I do any work. Send a PM so we can discuss over the phone.

Gun rack. Keeps others from passing you. ;)

Tint for your golf cart.

I installed it myself. It is advisable to use tint materials specifically for plexiglass. You will find it online.

Here's a more direct link to the guy on Etsy that makes the awesome "birdie shot" cup holders for your golf cart. I ordered mine in multi-colors to match a favorite sports team. I like that they can be screwed in, zip-tied, or command-strip velcro'd anywhere I want to put it.

I found mine on Temu, for about $8 each. I bought a half dozen and gave them out to my friends.

The ones on Amazon (or Caddy Buddy) are closer to $30 each.

You can lock your screen so it doesn't do that.

Or... Just wait the 5-10 seconds it takes to make a turn and it goes back to normal.

Personally, I don't like the cup holder phone holders. They constantly come loose and take up space I use for other things...

That's a generous offer, Tinker! I'll reach back, after I've run around in the new cart for awhile, if it seems like a solution I'd like to pursue!

Rhetorical question:

Didn't the above-quoted contributor say in the linked thread below that he does not own a golf cart and once rode in a friend's cart several years ago? One might suspect one of passing off one's preferences onto others in the guise of giving them good advice when one is actually just trying to get them to satisfy one's pet-peeves. But of course, I can't imagine someone doing something like that. I would be utterly shocked to find that happening here. Yeah, I'm sure that's not what is happening, I hold people in too high regard and esteem to think that.

This can come in handy, I can recall towing at least 6 dead electric carts over the years.

Got 1 on Amazon. Bigger and half the price.
