2013 World Cat 255DC Owners Manual
If chosen, your 255DC can be equipped with an optional stereo unit. The unit is mounted in the head compartment.
Two speakers are mounted in the bow forward of the helm, and the remaining two are installed in the hard top. You
can control the unit using the faceplate or using the remote mounted on the dash. Power is supplied to the stereo
through an accessory fuse block; therefore, the battery switch must be in the “on” position to use the unit.
10.3.2 Anchor Windlass (Freefall)
World Cat provides an optional anchor windlass manufactured by Simpson Lawrence™. If you choose this option,
you will receive the windlass, an anchor, anchor rope, and chain which is matched to your vessel’s size. The rocker
switch to control the windlass is mounted at the helm, and foot switches are installed at the windlass. The
manufacturer’s instruction manual is provided, in the “Owner’s Portfolio”, detailing their use.
The circuit breaker for the anchor windlass is mounted in the starboard battery compartment. The breaker is
connected to the battery switch. If you choose not to have the factory install your windlass, World Cat provides wires
in the deck harness to allow for aftermarket installs. Regardless of type, a directional control solenoid and rocker style
switch will be needed to add the aftermarket windlass. Please refer to the windlass’s user manual for proper
installation.
NOTICE
Windlasses used incorrectly could cause harm to equipment or crew.
Windlasses should be used with care and treated with respect.
Lewmar windlasses are designed and supplied for anchor control in marine applications and are not to be
used in conjunction with any other use.
It is the unaboidable responsibility of the owner or master or other responsible part to assess the risk of
any operation on the vessel.
10.3.3 Windlass Deck Switch Maintenance

10.3.4 Outriggers
Outriggers enhance the fishability of your catamaran and can be a great asset when hunting a trophy catch. World Cat
offers Taco™ outriggers as an option. The units are mounted on the fiberglass hardtop and operated using the handles
above and outboard of the walkthrough. Use the information provided in section 7.6 to maintain the aluminum on the
outriggers and grease the telescoping joints frequently to prevent damage from salt spray.
10.3.5 Battery Charger
Combined with the battery management system, this system helps ensure that your vessel will be ready to fish
whenever you are. The charger is located on the bulkhead aft of the starboard battery, to access open the hatch
located in the rear starboard battery compartment.
10.3.6 Power Assist Steering
The power assist unit provides automobile like steering on your catamaran. The unit is installed in the console
between the helm and steering rams. The power for the unit is connected to both the port & starboard key switch.
