World Class Catamarans
3-4
The guidelines above are basic and do not alleviate the owner of responsibility should an
accident occur. Use good judgement and common sense to avoid an accident.
WIRING AND CIRCUIT PROTECTION
All World Class Catamarans are wired using marine grade tin coated copper wire, instead of
standard copper wire. Tin coated copper is manufactured to withstand the harsh saltwater envi-
ronment better than standard copper which is used for residential applications. Environmen-
tally sealed Deutsch™ connectors are installed on all accessories located below the waterline to
ensure watertight connections. The remaining devices are installed with high quality splices and
terminals, which are heat shrunk to protect the integrity of the connection. Harnesses are
routed through PVC rigging tubes to prevent chaffing and covered with sheathing when neces-
sary.
DIGITAL CONTROL SYSTEM
All World Cats come equipped with a digital control system, consisting of a control unit and
remote switch pod. The control unit houses the circuit protection for all the accessories acti-
vated by the switch pods. A label is mounted on the control unit to advise you which breaker
controls a given funtion. If a breaker trips, simply push it in to reset. When possible have your
dealer replace a defective breaker. If that is impractical, remove the cover from the control unit
and pull out on the original breaker. Replace by snapping in a new breaker, being sure to use a
breaker identical in capacity to the original.
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 cur-
rent 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 replacements for these fuses from
your dealer or local auto-parts store. Always replace a damaged fuse with one of equal rating.
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.
! CAUTION
When reconnecting your batteries, always connect the black cable to the negative
terminal and red cable to the positive one. Reversing them can damage you electri-
cal system and create a potential for electric shock.
! CAUTION
Never disconnect a battery while underway. Doing so may result in damage to your
boat’s electrical system and the engine’s alternator.
! CAUTION
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.
! CAUTION
When working on your electrical system, disconnect the batteries to prevent shock, or
damage to your electrical system. If possible, have an electrician perform repairs.
