Townlec Auto Electrical
Island — carts, marine, tourism

Golf cart and auto electrical, Magnetic Island.

Magnetic Island is unlike anywhere else in our patch — across the water from Townsville, with salt in everything. Golf carts, boats and island vehicles all fight corrosion, and the work is about making the electrics survive it.

Why Magnetic Island is different

Auto electrical work for Magnetic Island.

Golf carts from the island

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

Lithium conversions worth doing

Replacing tired lead-acid with lithium makes a cart lighter, holds voltage under load and outlasts it. Where a cart is everyday transport, that is a real difference rather than a novelty.

Boats from the island

Boats come across to the Townsville workshop for marine electrical — sealed connectors, marine-grade cable and marine batteries, because standard parts do not last in salt.

Worth knowing

How the work gets booked

Ring us with the symptom rather than the diagnosis — what it is doing, when it started, and whether anything electrical has been added or repaired before. That is usually enough to tell whether you are looking at a battery, a charging fault or something further into the loom, and it decides how much time to set aside. Battery testing and fitting is walk-in; anything that needs diagnostic time gets booked, so a technician has the vehicle for as long as the fault takes rather than half as long.

On the ground

Magnetic Island in our words.

On Magnetic Island it is golf carts and marine, and both suffer badly from salt — including the cart and deep cycle batteries. Salt-rated connectors and sealed terminations are what make the work last.

FAQ

Magnetic Island questions.

How do I get a golf cart or car from Magnetic Island to your workshop?+
On the vehicle barge. A cart or car that runs can be driven on; one that will not can be towed on. Ring us first and we will work out the details with you.
Is converting my cart to lithium worth it?+
If the cart is everyday transport, usually yes — the lighter pack and steadier voltage show up on every trip. On a cart that rarely moves, the case is weaker.
Do you work on carts you did not sell?+
Yes. Parts are held for EZGO RXV, Yamaha 48V and LVTong, and brought in for other makes — controllers, chargers, wiring and batteries.
Are you a mobile auto electrician?+
The workshop is where nearly everything gets done, and it is where the full tool kit lives. On-site work is for fleet and commercial accounts, and for plant and machinery that genuinely cannot be moved. It is worked out on the phone rather than booked off a website — we are a small crew and the calendar fills up, so ring us, tell us the job, and we will give you an honest answer on whether it suits a visit or whether the vehicle is better off here.
