2014 World Cat 290DC Owners Manual
10.1.4 Freshwater System
The freshwater pump and wiring are located in the mechanical cabinet on the inboard wall of the port seatbox. The
freshwater pump is connected to the 35 gallon freshwater tank located beneath the port seatbox. The tank is filled
through a fitting located on the port side of the deck. Similar to residential well pumps, the freshwater pump
pressurizes the system to 45 psi. then shuts down until the pressure drops below that level. Most owners leave the
pump “on” throughout the day, and use the system when necessary. On the 290DC, the freshwater pump feeds the
pull out shower located on the aft transom wall, the head faucet, and the marine head. To view the layout of the water
system see the drawing in section 10.4.6 thru 10.4.8.
10.1.5 Seacocks
OPEN CLOSED
Ball valves (seacocks) are installed on the water intake for both the livewell and raw water system. The seacock must
be in the open position for these systems to work. When open, the handle will be parallel to the valve. In the closed
position the handle is perpendicular to the valve (see picture above). World Cat recommends that the seacocks remain
in the closed position when not in use, or when the boat is left unattended to prevent the vessel from taking on water
due to a plumbing failure.
10.1.6 Livewell System
The 290DC has a 30 gallon livewell standard. It is equipped with a dual purpose livewell pump and adjustable flow
regulator. The pump is located in the port bilge compartment and can be reached through the inspection port in the
motorwell. The wiring is secured to the pump using a tie-strap, and must be disconnected prior to removing the pump.
The livewell pump draws water through the strainer mounted on the inboard side of the port sponson. A seacock is
installed between the pickup and the pump to allow you to seal the system between use, or in the event of a plumbing
failure.To operate the livewell, first verify that the seacock and flow regulator are open, then install the drain plug in
the bottom of the tub. When you have completed these steps, engage the livewell pump using the switch at the dash.
The livewell light is also controlled by the switch. Water will fill the tank until it is level with the overboard drain,
which evacuates water through the hullside. To clear bait residue from the tank during operation, temporarily remove
the drain plug. When you have finished using the livewell, remove the drain plug to allow the water to drain
overboard.
