Please read instructions! This boat is performance/FPS friendly and career ready!

TRN Islander 4 (Base) - Model Number IS7.B – 4th Generation Hull “Loch Earn” – 3rd Generation Pure-Diesel V24 Drivetrain (Modular Engines)

The best just got better! I present the Islander 4, the 7th product in my line of Islander boats, and the first to feature a new and completely overhauled hull and drivetrain. The Islander 4 was built from the ground up with my new larger, more streamlined “Loch Earn” hull, with brand new systems and my own custom TRN Pure-Diesel V24 engines. The Islander 4 is a huge upgrade over previous Islander boats, and has an increased capacity, more amenities, longer range, and much faster top speed. It also features an advanced autopilot system, allowing for you to switch between Manual, Heading Hold and Waypoint modes.

Advised top speed is 41km/h with a range of 450-500km. Capacity is 64 passengers indoors, 8 outdoor seats, 2 crew, and 2 crew beds. Diesel fuel only. This base Islander 4 is optimised for a balance between speed and range.

The Islander is a medium passenger transport vessel with a long range, designed to ferry passengers back and forth between islands, the mainland, and outlying bases, like oil rigs. It can also be used for tours, thanks to its great visibility. The Islander can also complete extremely long journeys and is able to make multiple round trips from Sawyer to the Arctic on a single tank of fuel. It also copes incredibly well with extreme weather and waves thanks to its high air intakes, low propellors and rudder, and low centre of gravity. The Islander 4 is ideal for nearly all types of passenger operations, thanks to its class-leading long range and feature set. It is also capable of making simple rescues, with its huge equipment stores, built in radios and transponder locator/transmitter, rear deck winches, and fire hose outlets.

Despite being redesigned from square one, the Islander 4 continues the trend of incredibly capable Islander boats and represents massive improvements across the board. The next generation of Islander is here, and ready for whatever you or the future may throw at it.

Features:
- Brand new hull, built from the ground up, making the Islander 4 more streamlined and modern

Instructions:
1. Enter the bridge via the rear deck door
2. Look at the left dashboard and switch on the “Electrical Master” and “Displays” switches
3. Look at the left wall and turn the “Ignition” key, you should hear a beep and the engines starting. Wait for the engines to reach idle and the starter to stop
4. Enter the right seat and use the throttle, or press 4 to increase the throttle

Autopilot Instructions:
1. Look at the autopilot switching panel (2 small arrow buttons and 2 small gauges at front middle of bridge)
2. Press the left arrow button to arm the Waypoint Follow Autopilot, then enter waypoints using the keyboard and button by the right seat, or using the touchscreen map display
2. Press the right arrow button to arm the Heading Hold Autopilot, the heading is not yet selected, but ensure you are travelling in the direction you wish to follow
3. Enter the right seat and press 2 to engage the selected autopilot, the AP indicator will illuminate green and you should see the small right gauge changing as the boat follows your selected heading or selected route. Press 2 again to disengage the autopilot and enter Manual mode
- Note = If using the Heading Hold mode, you can use the left/right arrow keys to finely adjust the heading. Press the key twice to adjust the heading by 1°

Electricity Note = Thanks to the many solar panels and powerful generators, you will likely never run out of electricity, but if you need to produce electricity quickly, for example, at night, you can lock the clutches and pass engine power through to just the generators, generating a lot of electricity. You can also use shore power by toggling the button on the rear wall of the bridge (this also allows you to share electricity with other vessels).

Fuel Note = To refuel take one of the hoses stored on the rear deck and connect it to your fuel source, then to the hose anchor beneath the sign that says "IN", then toggle the "Refuel Tank Allow" switch. You can now watch the fuel level rise using the back-lit gauge, the tank is full at 35203 L. You can also use the left panel beneath the "OUT" sign to pump fuel from the Islander to another vessel.
