You have two options to use the commands with the boat.
Either using the pop-up menu when clicking the boat or using the command shortlist (see below Commands).
The boat has two modes that can be switched using the page down button.
Cruise mode uses 5% throttle increments and reaches a top speed of 38 knots.
At 0% throttle you can strafe the boat to the left or right, by pressing shift and arrows left and right simultaneously.
Keep in mind that shift and mouselook use the same command code in LSL.
Pursuit mode uses only one speed set to 100% throttle and is slightly faster than cruise mode.
This is more appropriate for quick burst on the throttle with quick maneuverability.

Controls:
Page Up - horn
Page Down - toggles Cruise mode or Pursuit mode

Cruise Mode:
Forward and reverse arrow controls the throttle in 5% increments
Left and right arrow control turning
At 0% throttle shift + left or right arrow will enable the side thrusters

Pursuit Mode:
Forward and reverse arrows control forward and reverse thrust
left and right arrows controls steering

SailSafe

As with the FlySafe in my aircraft, I've introduced a SailSafe mode in this boat.
When activated both Pilots, passengers and vessel will become phantom and set to temporary.
This will help you to sail through obstructions, shallow waters and avoid collisions with other boats.
When VICE is enabled SailSafe will not work, obviously this would give you an unfair advantage.

Tow Line

I've added a 40 meter tow line script to the package, this can be dropped in another boat to tow them.
"listens anyone" would be used to hand to people you need to tow (but beware not all boats are tow friendly)
"listens to owner" can only be towed by you.
You need to be within a 20 meter radius for the tow line scripts to connect.
I would not recommend towing at speeds above 10 kts, but it's possible.

Modding:

Interior:

To help you save on prims we devised a simple interior rez system.
You can rez your interior anywhere you are allowed to build.
You can also modify and create you own interiors fully to your taste and even swap or sell interiors.
When the interior is rezzed you will see that it is linked to a small red ball that is just under the center bridge floor.
The red ball is the root prim and will always rez at the same spot, which is the center zero position and rotation of the ship.
To create your own interior just unlink the current default interior and remove that, then link your new interior to the red ball.
You then swap out the old interior that is located inside the contents of the transparent sphere around the copilot seat with your new one and finished.

RIBs:

There are 3 RIBs located inside the contents tab of the right propeller.
Do not rename these as they need the exact same name they were given for the script to recognize.
You can however freely change their textures and swap then out for the default USCG ones inside the right propeller.
