World Class Catamarans BOATING SAFETY GUIDELINES As an owner/operator you should be prepared to handle any situation which arises before departure, while underway, or upon return to dock. Careful planning will add safety and pleasure to your experience and give you the confidence to handle emergencies if they develop. Listed below are some general guidelines which you should follow before any trip: PRE-DEPARTURE: • Establish a float plan and provide it to a person whom you trust.
World Class Catamarans RETURNING • Obey navigational markers and be aware of any tidal changes since departure. • Collect and dispose of refuse properly to maintain our waters for future generations. • Prepare your boat for loading before moving to the dock. Quickly pull your vessel from the water and move away from the ramp to complete the preparation for trailering. • Verify that trailer systems are working properly and all items are secured before leaving.
World Class Catamarans EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH Lanyard clips are provided on all World Cats and when used properly provide an emergency stop for the engines should the driver fall from the helm position, or need to perform an emergency shutdown to respond to or avoid an accident. The clip attaches the driver to the ignition panel using a cord. A pull on the cord will release the clip from the shut-off switch on the panel and shutdown the engines. To restart the engines, simply reinstall the clip.
World Class Catamarans CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) ! DANGER Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas produced by the exhaust system of any combustible engine. CO can cause brain damage or death, if inhaled over an extended period of time. To protect yourself and your passengers, never block the ventilation outlets in cabins, consoles, or other enclosed spaces. One of the most important considerations when dealing with boating safety is carbon monoxide.
World Class Catamarans CHAPTER 2 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW This chapter will provide information on the performance characteristics of your catamaran; This is not a substitute for seamanship training or hands-on experience.

World Class Catamarans BD POR THIS IS A REPRESENTATION OF A TYPICAL WORLD CAT STEERING SYSTEM. THE LENGTHS OF THE STEERING HOSES AND PIGTAILS WILL VARY DEPENDING ON THE MODEL YOU HAVE.
World Class Catamarans STEERING SYSTEM - BLEEDING INSTRUCTIONS Reference the bleeding instructions provided by the Teleflex™ owner’s manual, which is included in your “Owner’s Portfolio”. Use them in conjunction with the instructions and diagram below to bleed the steering system. This should be done annually. NOTICE If possible, have your dealer or trained marine technician perform routine maintenance or repairs on your steering system. Replace faulty parts immediately. STEP 1 1.
World Class Catamarans HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS World Class Catamaran’s patented Vectroflo™ hull is a semi-displacement hull, which exhibits characteristics of both planing and displacement hulls. Planing hulls provide speed and economy of operation since a limited amount of the hull is in contact with the water. However, they feature flat sections along the chine which can result in poor handling at low speeds and harder impacts at high speed.
World Class Catamarans BOATING TIPS Experience is the best way to determine the handling characteristics of your catamaran. Operating the boat in multiple sea conditions and under various loads will help you predict how the boat will perform in any situation. World Cat provides the following recommendations regarding the performance of your catamaran: • Establish an RPM chart which details the speed and fuel consumption at various RPM levels to achieve the most economical operation.
World Class Catamarans LOAD Increased load can obviously affect performance, especially if the load is unbalanced. Passengers, gear, and fuel are all examples of things which can affect your vessel. Fuel levels change through the day, and greatly affect the attitude of your boat. When necessary, make adjustments to engine trim and load distribution to compensate for fuel usage.
World Class Catamarans CHAPTER 3 SYSTEMS INFORMATION OVERVIEW This chapter will provide you with basic information for all the systems on your boat. Understanding this information is imperative, as it directly contributes to the safety and enjoyment of your trips on the water. If you need further information on any of these systems talk with your dealer. FUELING GUIDELINES Study the following guidelines thoroughly, and consult your dealer if you have questions.
World Class Catamarans FUEL SYSTEM Due to the nature of the hull design, each World Cat is equipped with a port and starboard fuel system. These systems act independently, providing fuel to the engine on their respective side. Tanks are constructed of polyethylene material to prevent corrosion, and feature dual hull side vents to avoid over-pressurization of the system. This helps eliminate “blow back” and its damaging effects on your gelcoat.
World Class Catamarans ELECTRICAL SYSTEM The electrical system on your catamaran consists of three major components: the battery system, wiring and circuit protection, and accessories. It is important that you understand the principles of the electrical system, so that you can protect the components and troubleshoot any problems you experience. BATTERY SYSTEM Your World Cat is equipped with three batteries, excluding the 320 EC and 330 TE which have four.
World Class Catamarans VOLTAGE SENSOR RELAY (VSR) The twin voltage relay sensors are integrated into the battery switch cluster. They distribute the charging output from the engine alternator to the “cranking” and “house” batteries. After starting an engine, the alternator sends electricity back to the “cranking” battery to recharge it. Once the “cranking battery” is fully charged (13.6 volts), the VSR closes to allow the alternator output to charge the “house” battery.
World Class Catamarans BATTERY CARE Batteries should be secured in a non-metallic tray and insulated boots should cover the terminals. Depending on the style of battery you choose, inspect the electrolyte and perform routine maintenance as suggested by the manufacturer. Remove corrosion from the terminals quickly to prevent failure. Use a stiff brush and a solution of water and baking soda to remove corrosion, then grease the terminals to prevent further build-up.
World Class Catamarans WIRING AND CIRCUIT PROTECTION All World Class Catamarans are wired using marine grade tin coated copper wire, instead of standard copper wire. Tin coated copper is manufactured to withstand the harsh saltwater environment better than standard copper, which is used for residential applications. Environmentally sealed Deutsch™ connectors are installed on all accessories located below the waterline to ensure watertight connections.
World Class Catamarans ACCESSORIES Electrical accessories include all lights, pumps, and gauges assembled into your catamaran. Certain accessories are standard to each model, while others are optional equipment. Below is a list of accessories and their function. Beside each accessory is a list of the boats on which the item is standard. For information on optional equipment see Chapter 5 in this manual. NAVAGATIONAL LIGHTS Per USCG guidelines, all powered vessels must have navigational and anchor lights.
World Class Catamarans LIVEWELL PUMP Supplies water to the livewell system and is activated by a switch pod. 12V OUTLETS Located strategically throughout the boat, these outlets provide power to aftermarket accessories such as cell phones, electric reels, and spotlights. Each outlet is independently wired to the fuse panel. MARINE HEAD The marine head is powered by the fuse panel, and has a separate control panel mounted near the head.
World Class Catamarans GAUGE PACKAGES World Cat provides Honda™, Suzuki™, and Yamaha™ engine packages with manufacturer supplied instrumentation. Below is a list of the standard packages and a description of their function. YAMAHA™ Yamaha™ packages feature a four piece digital gauge package with a tachometer for each engine, speedometer, and fuel management gauge.

World Class Catamarans CHAPTER 4 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE OVERVIEW This chapter provides basic information for maintaining the original appearance and dependable performance of your World Cat. Although your vessel is constructed of the finest materials available, the harsh saltwater environment and other factors, including geography and usage rate, will affect its finish and function over time. It is imperative that you understand how to care for your catamaran properly.
World Class Catamarans 4. When you have completely buffed the area, wash away any remaining compound using clean water. 5. After thoroughly cleaning the surface, wax the affected area. This will help restore the finish and provide a seal against future discoloration. ! CAUTION Protect metal surfaces when using abrasive cleaners, polishing compounds or rubbing compounds. They can damage the metal’s protective finish leading to rust. ! CAUTION When using an electric buffer, maintain constant motion.
World Class Catamarans UPHOLSTERY Basic Stains - Clean with a mild detergent and a soft to medium brush, or an all purpose cleaner such as Fantastic™. Rinse with fresh water after cleaning. Mildew - Use a 4 to 1 mixture of water and ammonia, brushing the stain vigorously to remove the bacteria responsible for the mildew. If the stain remains, briefly apply bleach to the area and rinse with fresh water. ! WARNING Do not mix ammonia and household bleach.
World Class Catamarans COCKPIT DRAINS All World Cats have four drains located in the cockpit, two on both the starboard and port sides. These drains are designed to quickly evacuate the cockpit should the boat become swamped. Flushing these drains routinely will ensure the safety of your crew and vessel, as well as, eliminate the potential for odors associated with fish residue. These drains are evacuated through the scuppers located on the hullside.
