TRN Islander 4 SP (2021) - Passenger Transport Boat - Long Range - Stormlink Ready

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

TRN Islander 4 SP 2021 – Model Number IS8.B – 4th Generation Hull “Loch Earn” – 3rd Generation Pure-Diesel V24 Drivetrain (Modular Engines)

I present the Islander 4 SP 21, a shortened version of the base Islander 4, with a much improved top speed, faster than any Islander boat to come before. The 4 SP makes use of my brand new “Loch Earn” hull, brand new systems, improved structural and interior design, and of course my custom TRN Pure-Diesel V24 engines, all built from the ground up. The Islander 4 is a huge upgrade over previous boats, and the 4 SP 21 focuses its improvements on speed, whilst maintaining an impressive range, and gaining more amenities and features, and a higher passenger capacity than the previous Islander 3 SP, which the 4 SP 21 replaces. It also has an advanced autopilot system, which can be switched between Manual, Heading Hold and Waypoint modes.

Advised top speed is 50km/h with a range of 400-450km. Capacity is 52 passengers indoors, 8 outdoor seats, 2 crew, and 2 crew beds. Diesel fuel only.

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.

The next generation of Islander is here, and ready for whatever challenges you decide to 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 26703 L. You can also use the left panel beneath the "OUT" sign to pump fuel from the Islander to another vessel.
