Page 15: Chapter 2: Performance
World Cat CHAPTER 2 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW This chapter will provide information on the performance characteristics of your catamaran; This is not a substitute for seamanship training or hands-on experience. First time boat owners should use the resources detailed in Chapter 1 to learn proper methods of boat operation. Experienced boaters who have never owned a catamaran, should study this chapter completely. -
Page 16: Engine Controls
World Cat hull give operators exceptional maneuverability in even the tightest spaces. Because of the superior tracking abilities of the World Cat hull, oversteering can present a problem, especially for owners accustomed to operating conventional boats. Conventional vessels have a tendency to lose tracking abilities in rough and following sea conditions, making constant course corrections neces- sary. -

Page 19: Handling Characteristics
Speed and econ- omy suffer however, since more of the hull is submerged. World Cat has taken the best characteristics of these two designs and incorporated them in the Vectroflo™ hull. Our proven design provides a superior ride, excellent handling characteristics in a variety of conditions, and speed with economy of operation. -
Page 20: Boating Tips
Experience is the best way to determine the handling characteristics of your catamaran. Operating the boat in multiple sea conditions and under various loads will help you predict how the boat will perform in any situation. World Cat provides the following recommendations regarding the performance of your cata- maran: •... -
Page 21: Load
World Cat LOAD Increased load can obviously affect performance, especially if the load is unbalanced. Passengers, gear, and fuel are all examples of things which can affect your vessel. Fuel levels change through the day, and greatly affect the attitude of your boat. When necessary, make adjustments to engine trim and load distribution to compensate for fuel usage. -
Page 22: Chapter 3: Systems Information
World Cat CHAPTER 3 SYSTEMS INFORMATION OVERVIEW This chapter will provide you with basic information for all the systems on your boat. Understanding this infor- mation is imperative, as it directly contributes to the safety and enjoyment of your trips on the water. If you need fur- ther information on any of these systems talk with your dealer. -
Page 23: Fuel System
FUEL SYSTEM Due to the nature of the hull design, each World Cat is equipped with a port and starboard fuel system. These sys- tems act independently, providing fuel to the engine on their respective side. Tanks are constructed of polyethylene material to prevent corrosion, and feature dual hull side vents to avoid over-pressurization of the system. -
Page 24: Electrical System
BATTERY SYSTEM Your World Cat is equipped with three batteries, excluding the 320 EC and 330 TE which have four. Two of the batteries are dedicated as “cranking batteries”; the third bank controls the DC accessories and is commonly referred to as the “house”... -

In the even of a failure, replacements must be of equal size and specifications (see below):... -
Page 26: Battery Care
World Cat BATTERY CARE Batteries should be secured in a non-metallic tray and insulated boots should cover the terminals. Depending on the style of battery you choose, inspect the electrolyte and perform routine maintenance as suggested by the manufac- turer. Remove corrosion from the terminals quickly to prevent failure. Use a stiff brush and a solution of water and baking soda to remove corrosion, then grease the terminals to prevent further build-up. -
Page 27: Wiring And Circuit Protection
When working on your electrical system, disconnect the batteries and AC power to prevent shock, or dam- age to your electrical system. If possible, have an electrician perform repairs. For customers unfamiliar with electrical systems, World Cat recommends the following book: Boating Magazine’s: Powerboater’s Guide to Electrical Systems... -
