4.4 Recommended Safety Equipment

Although not required, there are several additional items which help to ensure safety, and provide 

convenience for you and passengers. A list of these items can be found in the Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts 

Owner’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. 

4.4.1 NMMA Yacht Certification

The NMMA seal means your World Cat is certified by the National Marine Manufacturers Association. With 

this tag, you are assured your fuel system, electrical system, lighting, ventilation, and steering are not only in 

compliance with US Coast Guard regulations, but also meet the more stringent standards of the NMMA. The 

NMMA 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.

Pursuant to NMMA certification, all World Cats over 26’ in length are “Yacht Certified” and carry an 

appropriate placard. Person and gear capacities are not predetermined, they are left to the operator’s 

discretion. Therefore, the amount of load allowed onboard should result from considering all safety 

precautions.

Horsepower ratings, however, are set by World Cat and should not be exceeded. Exceeding the factory 

recommendation will result in loss of warranty coverage on your vessel. 

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 

provided 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.

Use only marine grade replacement parts. Most automotive and residential parts are not suitable 

for use in the harsh marine environment. Using them could lead to premature product fail ure, 

property damage, or personal injury. 

!!! CAUTION

!!! WARNING

Exceeding capacity or recommended horsepower can endanger your passengers and vessel, as 

well as voiding any warranty remaining on the boat should failure occur. The maximum horsepower 

rating for your 280DC-X is 400 total horse power. 

4.5.1 Oil and Hazardous Substances

The Federal Water Pollution Control Act prohibits the discharge 

of oil or hazardous substances which may be harmful into U.S. 

navigable water. Vessels 26’ in length and over must display a 

placard at least 5” x 8”, made of durable material. The placard must 

be installed in a conspicuous place in the rigging compartments or 

near the bilge pumps and state the following:
