Island — carts, marine, tourism

Magnetic Island runs on carts and boats.

Magnetic Island is unlike anywhere else in our patch. Golf carts and small EVs do the work cars do on the mainland, boats matter more than utes, and everything corrodes faster. It is also the one place where getting a technician there takes planning.

Getting to you

Scheduled visits — book ahead, ferry-dependent

Why Magnetic Island is different

The work round here.

Golf carts and EVs are the daily driver

Controllers, chargers, lighting, wiring and lithium conversions. We are the LVTong and Evolution dealer for North Queensland, so we know these vehicles rather than treating them as an oddity.

Lithium conversions worth doing

Replacing tired lead-acid with lithium roughly halves the weight, holds voltage under load and lasts far longer. On an island where a cart is genuine transport, that is a real difference rather than a novelty.

Book ahead — we travel to you

Island work is scheduled around the ferry rather than done on a whim. Get in touch early and we will group jobs into a visit, which keeps the cost down for everyone.

Worth knowing

On-site or in the workshop?

Some jobs are better done where the vehicle is, and some are better brought to us. Gear that cannot move, fleet work and bigger jobs are the ones that suit a visit; a single small job — a battery, a globe, one connector — is usually sorted faster at the workshop. Ring us with what you have got and we will tell you honestly which way works out better.

On the ground

Magnetic Island in our words.

Magnetic Island is mostly golf carts and marine, and both suffer badly from salt — including the cart and deep cycle batteries. Because visits are scheduled around the ferry we would rather hear about a small fault early and roll it into a planned trip than send someone across for an emergency.

FAQ

Magnetic Island questions.

Do you actually come to the island?+
Yes, on scheduled visits planned around the ferry rather than on demand. Get in touch early with what you need and we will group it into a trip, which keeps the cost down for everyone.
Is converting my cart to lithium worth it?+
On the island, usually yes. Lithium roughly halves the weight, holds voltage under load instead of sagging, and lasts far longer than lead-acid. Where a cart is genuine transport rather than a novelty, that is a real difference.
Do you service brands other than the ones you sell?+
Yes. We are the LVTong and Evolution dealer, but we work on whatever is out there — controllers, chargers, wiring and batteries across most makes.
