The vehicle is 24v, the accessories run off of the battery equalizer. Most of the time, when running, we get about 13.6 volts to the accessories.

Did you guys remove the ring mount? How did you cover and seal the hole? Aaaaand pics plz????


If not, did you all modify it in any way to waterproof it?

We removed everything to do with the turret, and our local welding shop covered the hole with 1/8" steel, then welded it on. The paint guy used a bondo like compound to fill in the low spots and sanded down the high spots. I'm at college right now, but I'll be home in a week, I'll try to get a picture then!
