Control System
World Cat 255DC come equipped with a digital assembly consisting of a control unit and remote switch pod(s). In
the digital assembly, the control unit houses the circuit protection for all the accessories controlled by the switch
pod(s). A label is mounted on the control unit to advise you which breaker controls a given appliance. If a breaker
trips in either system, simply push it in to reset. When possible have your dealer replace defective electrical
components. If that is impractical, be certain to use identical replacements to ensure the integrity of the system.

Failing to use the correct replacement breaker could result in failure of the device or damage to the
electrical system. Contact your dealer for repair information.
Accessories not integrated into the control unit can include lights with integrated switches, marine head controls,
stereos, aftermarket electronics and 12V outlets. These devices draw current from the accessory fuse blocks. The fuse
blocks are similar to those found in automobiles, and use snap-in fuses to protect a circuit. You can obtain replace-
ments for these fuses from your dealer or local auto-parts store. Always replace a damaged fuse with one of equal rat-
ing.
Ground blocks are another integral part of your electrical system. These are connected to the common battery ground
and individual appliances, to provide a path for current flow back to batteries.
