World Class Catamarans

OPTIONAL FEATURES
STEREO
If chosen, your 270 SD can be equipped with an optional JBL™ stereo unit Sirius™ satellite
service. The units are mounted on the forward wall inside the port head compartment, with 4
speakers mounted along the port and starboard gunwales. You can control the unit using the
faceplate or the remote located at the helm. Power is supplied to the stereo through the acces-
sory fuse block; therefore, the “house” battery switch must be in the “on” position to use the
unit.
ANCHOR WINDLASS
You can equip your World Cat with a manual release or freefall 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 controls for the windlass are
mounted at the helm, and the manufacturer’s instruction manual is provided, in the “Owner’s
Portfolio”, detailing its use.
The circuit breaker for the anchor windlass is mounted on the battery management panel.
The breaker is connected to the “house” 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 (see wiring diagram on page 10). A plate will be installed on the battery management
panel to cover the opening, but can be removed to install a breaker. Contact your dealer for
more information on aftermarket windlass installation.
OUTRIGGERS
Outriggers enhance the fishability of your catamaran and can be a great asset when hunting
a trophy catch. World Cat offers 15‘ Taco™ outriggers as an option on the 270 SD. The units are
mounted on the fiberglass hardtop and operated using the handles above and outboard of the
console. Use the information provided in Chapter 4 to maintain the aluminum on the outriggers
and grease the telescoping joints frequently to prevent damage from salt spray.
MARINE HEAD
The 270 SD can be equipped with a Galley Maid™ marine head in the port head compart-
ment. The control panel for the head , shown on page 8, is located on the the outboard wall
inside the port head compartment. Power is supplied to this panel through a 30 amp breaker
located in the console on the accessory fuse block. From the control panel, four wires are routed
aft to the marine head.
Water is supplied to the system from the freshwater tank located in the starboard storage
area,
(Note: The head may be connected to the raw water system on some early 2004
models)
. To operate the head, the freshwater, or raw water, system must be pressurized. A
switch on the control panel will activate a solenoid which allows water to fill the bowl.
The holding tank is mounted in the starboard storage compartment, forward of the console
.
! WARNING
If the solenoid fails or becomes locked in the open position, shut off the supply system,
quickly and evacuate the
