CUSTOMER INFORMATION

OWNER’S PORTFOLIO

To help you enjoy the many features, benefits, and accessories on your new World Cat, we have pro-

vided you with the following materials:

• World Cat Owner’s Manual (model specific)

• Vendor Supplied Manuals for various accessories

• Warranty Information

We refer to this package as the “Owner’s Portfolio”, and will reference it often throughout this text.

The portfolio contains a wealth of information, including advice on safety, operation, performance, main-

tenance, and warranty. Reading and maintaining this information is extremely important, and could be the

difference between a positive and negative experience on the water.

For you convenience, World Cat also provides the NMMA text Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts Owner’s

Manual. It will be referenced occasionally in your owner’s manual, and provides supplemental information

on safety and basic boating practices.

WARRANTY INFORMATION

Upon purchasing your new World Cat, the dealer is responsible for completing the warranty card pro-

vided by the factory. The form is in triplicate, with one copy for you, the dealer, and the factory. Keep your

copy in a secure place so it can be referenced quickly in the event of a warranty issue. The 10 year limited

hull warranty is transferable, and a copy is included at the back of this manual should you decide to sell

your boat.

DEALER RESPONSIBILITIES

Our dealers are an extension of the factory, and we expect them to provide you with great customer

service and help prepare you for a positive ownership experience. Therefore, we set forth a list of responsi-

bilities for our dealers as follows:

• Provide courteous service and explanation of the product prior to the sale.

• Provide sea trials, if requested, for potential owners.

therein.

CHAPTER 1

SAFETY AND REGULATIONS

OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES

Prior to enjoying your World Cat, it is important to read and understand all the information detailed in your

“Owner’s Portfolio”. Knowing how to operate and maintain the systems on your vessel can make your experiences

safe and enjoyable, as well as increase the performance and longevity of your boat. Federal law and most state laws

clearly indicate that it is the operator’s responsibility to maintain their vessel, and to operate it in a manner which pro-

tects the safety of their passengers and others. Reference page 8 of the Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts Owner’s Manual

for a detailed list of owner responsibilities.

This manual will provide you a basic understanding of boating practices; however, we recommend all owners

review federal, state, and local regulations regarding safety and traffic prior to using your World Cat. The U.S. Coast

Guard Auxiliary and U.S. Power Squadrons offer excellent educational opportunities on a local level and are open to

anyone. If a chapter does not exist in your area, reference page 8 of the Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts Owner’s Manual or

contact the following numbers for other educational opportunities:

BOATING EDUCATION HOTLINE.................................1-800-336-BOAT (2628)

U.S. COAST GUARD BOATING HOTLINE....................1-800-368-5647

REGISTRATION

Vessels are required by federal and state law to be registered in the state where they are primarily used. Registra-

tion numbers and validation stickers must be displayed per regulations, and a certificate of registration must be on

board while the vessel is being operated. When traveling away from your home waters, contact authorities at your

destination to determine if any additional registration is required. Some areas require permits or temporary registra-

tions to operate in their waters. When completing registration forms you will be asked for the Hull Identification

Number (HIN). On your World Cat, the HIN is located on the starboard side of the transom. This number is unique to

your boat and will be important for registering your vessel, as well as, communicating with your dealer and our ser-

vice department. Including this information in any correspondence or conversations will help our support network

serve you better.

COAST GUARD REQUIRED SAFETY EQUIPMENT

Once you have reviewed safe boating guidelines and filed for registration, it is time to equip your vessel. The

U.S. Coast Guard’s (U.S.C.G.) list of required equipment is shown below. To review the guidelines for each item, ref-

erence pages 17 and 18 of the Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts Owner’s Manual.

• Audible Signaling Device (Bell, Horn, or Whistle)

• Fire Extinguisher

• Navigation / Anchor Lights

• Flotation Devices (PFD’s)

•Visual Signaling Devices

NOTICE

Remember to check with state and local agencies to ensure that additional items are not required to operate

your boat in their waterways.

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

18. 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.

CAPACITY INFORMATION

On all boats under 26 feet in length, the manufacturer

is required to provide capacity information. If you own a

250 SF, 250 SF, or 250 DC you will find a rectangular

metal plate near the helm. This plate will provide informa-

tion on horsepower ratings and total capacities which

include person capacities, motor(s) 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 this is a guideline for normal operation,

and does not release you from responsibility should an

accident occur. You must use rational judgement when

adverse conditions are expected, and reduce your loads to

create a margin of safety.

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

shown below. 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. The second

page in Chapter 5 of this manual will provide

information on the maximum horsepower rat-

ings for your boat. Exceeding the factory rec-

ommendation will result in loss of warranty

coverage on your vessel.

! CAUTION

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 failure, property damage, or

personal injury.

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 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.

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 feet in length and over must display a placard at least 5 by 8

inches, made of durable material. The placard must be installed in a conspicuous place in the rigging compart-

ments or near the bilge pumps and state the following:

DISPOSAL OF PLASTICS/DUNNAGE/GARBAGE

Boats 26 feet in length and over must display a Save Our Seas Placard which outlines the rules for dumping

waste offshore. The placards must be at least 4” x 9” and should be displayed in an area visible during normal

operation. They can be purchased from your dealer or marine equipment suppliers.
