Adding Instruments and Engines to your Boat

All the intelligent scripted instruments available in the Ocean Engineering Chandlery (a Marine Supply Store for Builders) will work when linked into this boat. You can add propellers, paddle wheels, compasses, binnacles, tachometers, ship's telegraph, etc, and hey will automatically communicate with the boat script and start working. For example, if you link an inboard motor from Ocean Engineering onto the back of your boat, the motor will make sounds like a steam engine and spin the propeller at a rate matched to your throttle setting. Come by my Chandlery to see ideas for instruments to add to your boats! To find links to all my stores, check out my blog.
