4.4 Recommended Safety Equipment
Although not required, there are several additional items which help to ensure safety and provide conven-
ience for you and your passengers. A list of these items can be found in the
Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts Own-
er’s Manual
on page 24
.
Perform an annual inventory to keep tools, spare parts, and safety equipment in
good condition. Immediately replace any items that have been removed from the kit.
!!! CAUTION
Use only marine grade replacement parts. Most automotive and residential parts are not suita-
ble for use in the harsh marine environment. Using them could lead to premature product fail-
ure, property damage, or personal injury.
4.4.1 Capacity Information
On all boats under 26 feet in length, the manufacturer is required to provide capacity information. If you own
a model under 26 feet in length you will find a rectangular metal plate near the helm. This plate will provide
information on horsepower ratings and total capacities which include person capacities, motors and gear. As
an owner you should be aware of the weight on board. Exceeding capacity can endanger your passengers
and vessel, as well as void any warranty remaining on the boat should a failure occur. Remember that this is
a guideline for normal operation, and does not release you from responsibility should an accident occur. You
must use rational judgment when adverse conditions are expected, and reduce your loads to create a margin
of safety.
4.5 Pollution Regulations
The Refuse Act of 1899 prohibits throwing, discharging or depositing any refuse matter of any kind (including
trash, garbage, oil and other liquid pollutants) into the waters of the United States. This information is pro-
vided in a pamphlet that is normally received when registering your boat. Use the information below as a
guideline, but study the pamphlet and understand any local regulations regarding pollution control. As the
operator, you are also liable for individuals on your vessel disposing of materials in an improper manner.
Pursuant to NMMA certification, all World Cats over 26’ in length are
“Yacht Certified” and carry the placard shown here. Person and gear
capacities are not predetermined, they are left to the operator’s dis-
cretion. Therefore, the amount of load allowed onboard should re-
sult from considering all safety precautions.
Horsepower ratings, however, are set by World Cat and
should not
be exceeded 600 HP
. Exceeding the factory recommendation will
result in loss of warranty coverage on your vessel.
This label means your World Cat is certified by the NMMA. With this tag, you are as-
sured your fuel system, electrical system, lighting, ventilation, and steering are not only
in compliance with the US Coast Guard regulations, but also meet the more stringent
standards of the NMMA. The National Marine Manufacturer’s Association is a national
trade organization serving all elements of the recreational boating industry including
manufacturers of boating equipment. With this tag, you can have confidence in the
safety of your boat.
