2013 World Cat 255DC Owners Manual
The 255DC is equipped with two batteries, which are located in the aft rigging compartments. They can be reached
using the access hatches located on the aft transom wall beneath the fold down aft seats port & starboard. A cranking
battery is installed on each side, and the starboard battery doubles as a house battery. Wire leads are run to the battery
management panel located behind the access hatch in the center of the aft transom wall. The engine cranking leads
are connected directly to the battery management panel. The negative engine leads are connected to the common
battery ground using the cranking battery on their respective side (see diagram below).
The starboard battery provides the power for all your DC accessories. The main lead runs to the battery switch on the
battery management panel. From there current is routed to the console through the 50 amp “DC Main” breaker
located on the battery management panel. The main ground for all DC accessories is tied into the common ground on
all batteries (see diagram below).
For a detailed drawing of the battery management panel connections, see the diagram in section 10.3.8 of this chapter.
