2014 World Cat 290DC Owners Manual
While underway, leaving your livewell seacock open could result in inadvertently filling your livewell.
To prevent this, close the seacock when the pump is not in operation.
NOTICE
Operating the engines in reverse can cause excessive ventilation near the livewell intake, causing the
pump to airlock. To prevent this, turn the pumps “OFF” prior to any continuous or high speed reverse
operation. If your pump does becomes air locked, turn the pump “OFF” for 15 to 30 seconds to correct
the problem.
10.1.7 Raw Water System
The raw water pump and associated wiring are found in the mechanical cabinet on the inboard wall of starboard
seatbox. The pump is connected to a strainer mounted on the rigging wall in the starboard bilge compartment, which
can be accessed through the motorwell hatch. The strainer is connected to a high speed pickup through the seacock
located on the inboard side of the starboard sponson. The seacock must be open for the system to work. Similar to the
freshwater pump, the raw water system in controlled by a pressure switch set at 45 psi. The pump will cycle on and
off as needed to maintain this pressure. Most owners leave the pump “on” throughout the day, and use the system
when necessary. On the 290DC, the raw water pump feeds the raw water outlet located on the starboard seatbox. To
view the layout of the water system see the drawing in section 10.4.6 thru 10.4.7.
10.1.8 Marine Head
The 290DC comes equipped with a marine head. The control panel for the head, is located in the rigging space on the
outboard vertical wall. Power is supplied to this panel through a 25 amp breaker located on the DC Sub Panel in the
head compartment. The panel shown below controls the water level in the bowl and the discharge of waste from the
head. Water is supplied to the system from the freshwater tank; therefore, to operate the toilet the freshwater system
must be pressurized. A solenoid, installed near the head inlet, prevents water from filling the bowl prior to each use.
The macerator pump, located at the rear of the toilet, removes waste from the bowl and pumps it into the 15 gallon
holding tank.

If the solenoid fails or becomes locked in the open position, shut off the supply system quickly and
evacuate the bowl.
The holding tank is mounted in the port hull forward of the gas tank, it can be accessed via the inspection plate or by
removing the floor lid. This tank can be evacuated using the deck pump-out fitting located on the port side of the
deck near the helm or by overboard discharge using the macerator pump and seacock supplied on your vessel. To
access the seacock, open the inspection hatch installed in the port gunwale. Open the seacock and use the keyswitch
on the head switch panel to evacuate the tank.
1.1.1.1.Initial Start Up
On each trip, prior to using the head, complete the following steps:
1. Turn on the freshwater system.
2. Fill 1/3 of the bowl with water using the lower switch on the control panel
3. Hold down the flush switch for 5 seconds to evacuate the bowl and refill with water.
1.1.1.2.Normal Use
Use the steps below for normal operation.
1. Hold the upper switch on the panel down for 5 seconds. This will purge the bowl and refill it with water.
2. In the event of inclement weather or rough seas, use the lower switch to remove water from the bowl and
prevent sloshing.
