6.8 Wiring and Circuit Protecon
Your World Cat is wired using marine grade n coated copper wire, instead of standard copper wire. Tin coated
copper is manufactured to withstand the harsh saltwater environment beer than standard copper, which is
used for residenal applicaons. Environmentally sealed Deutsch™ connectors are installed on all accessories
located below the waterline to ensure waterght connecons. The remaining devices are installed with high
quality splices and terminals, which are heat shrink sealed to protect the integrity of the connecon. Harnesses
are routed through PVC rigging tubes to prevent chang and covered with sheathing when necessary.
6.9 Control System
Your World Cat is equipped with a DC system controlled by mechanical push switches. Each mechanical switch
is labeled for funcon. In the event of a component failure, contact your dealer for repair or replacement. If
dealer service is unavailable or impraccal, be certain to use only idencal replacement parts and components
to ensure the integrity of the system.
Accessories not integrated into the main labeled switch panel can include lights with integrated switches,
marine head controls, stereos, aermarket electronics and 12V or USB outlets. These devices draw current
from the accessory fuse blocks located in the starboard helm storage. The fuse blocks use blade style fuses
for each circuit. Replacement fuses can be obtained from your dealer or local auto parts store. Always
replace a damaged fuse with one of equal rang.
Ground blocks are another integral part of your electrical system. These are connected across all baeries and
individual appliances, to provide a common shared ground to allow a path for current to ow back to the baeries.
!!! CAUTION
Failing to use the correct replacement breaker could result in failure of the device or damage to the
electrical system. Contact your dealer for repair informaon.
!!! CAUTION
When working on your electrical system, disconnect the baeries to prevent shock, or damage to your
electrical system. If possible, have an electrician perform repairs.
