Low season at Banderas Bay & Puerto Vallarta

We are coming to the middle of low season and in less than 30 days we will get into September, what Mexicans often likes to call Septi-hambre which is a saying mixing the word septiembre(the Spanish way) and hambre (hunger) and widely describes what is the worst month for sales and business at Mexico and comes together with a lot of rain in all the vast Mexican territory. Not to mention hurricanes, floods and a variety of disaster happening on this month as well as in October just to crown the end of the low rainy-season.

Get set your golf cart to avoid excessive water and damage of any of the components.
Recommended is the use of a cover if the vehicle is parked in a wide open environment, and do it every night if it rains at night.

If you have it parked for a long period, avoid to leave the cart parked in the direct ray of sun to prevent extreme temperatures which could accelerate the discharge of the battery pack.

As well avoid to leave the parking brake engaged to prevent the pads get sticked to drum brakes. If the place is a little inclined, just use something to lock the vehicle.

If a disaster like a hurricane or flood puts your vehicle under water, it is better to leave the electronics completely disconnected from battery pack. With some luck, if everything is well dried you can save lots of money instead of renewing speed controller, motor, batteries, etc.
