Flying crab - an old crabber

Description
Flying crab

Description

This vessel, inspired by one found on the internet

is an old and rusty crabbing vessel, However, don't juge it by its age, it can go out under the worst weathers, and the interior and the deckspace got reworked for the boat to be modernized and up to date. So any fisherman can have a comfy place to spend time during the long travel to their fishing area
The boat can be salvage : connect an hose to the hose anchors located on the deck and a pump to drain the hull, you can also get the water remaining insida via an electric connector situated on the roof of the boat, a blinking green light will help finding it if the boat is underwater. The composite channels are indicated on it.

/!\ Warning, the vessel need to be spawn either via a modded workbench, either via the mission editor !


Startup list

In order to start the boat, you need to follow a few steps. First, get down in the engine room

Once you are down there, there is the list of what to do :
  • Turn the light on (not actually needed, but generally a good thing)
  • From the control pannel, turn on the battery, and the generator flipper (and shore power if you use any)
  • Now turn the cooling, aeration and compressor on
  • I would recomend enabling the automatic generator
  • All good ? You may not be able to turn the engines on if you forgot about something
  • Now, you are ready to start the engine, enable the air valve of an engine located on the wall, doesn't matter which one, and hold its starter until it start (>120RPM)
  • You may notice, the ship has a compressor, and what is a compressor used for ? Re-filling the air tank, used to start the engines
  • After you turned on the engine, the air pressure has gone down, if it is above 15, you should be fine to start the second engine, if not, you'll have to wait (Note : you may wait for a long time if you forgot to turn the compressor on)
  • Do the same as you did to the first engine for the 2nd one
  • You may have an alarm setting off, it's low pressure alarm, nothing important, just mute it on the pannel, or leave it beeping, it's going to set off as the air tank refills
  • You're ready to go, be carefull to not stall the engine tho otherwise, you'll have to restart them

Once both engine running turn on the nav lights, jump in the seat, and press w to get moving, (sticky throttle with the trim menu (the Alt key)tip: you can press both w and s to quickly reset it, just be aware than reversing too quickly may stall the engines. It's like a car : you stop before reversing)

You mean the boom of the crane, or the big rounded thing at the back and all around the deck ? those are just XMLed pipes

Every ships should work with the fishing mod this one included, just keep in mind than the development of it is taking a break until either christhmas holidays, or next summer, and so you may find yourself with a few issues, especially if you are using the latest DLC
