3) Press up arrow and hold down to increase the throttle or
4) Tap the up arrow gently instead of holding down for precise throttle
5) To stop the engine type stop in local chat
Your friends can right click anywhere and choose sit here to sit down on the boat. The boat has a lot
of different poses. Click the boat to access a menu that has them all.
COMMANDS
The following is a full list of all commands available on the boat. Type these commands in local chat
to activate them.
- the arrow keys on your keyboard
Left steers the boat left. Right steers it right. Up increases the throttle. Down decreases the throttle.
PGUP and PGDN trim the nose of the boat up and down.
- SHIFT + left and right
This key combination makes your avatar move left or right on the jet ski. This will dramatically
increase your cornering ability.
- PGUP and PGDN
This will make your avatar lean back or forward. Great for doing tricks like a little jumping or jet
washing.
- start
This command will basically activate the jet ski. When the jet ski is rezzed it's inactive. This command
will do the SL equivalent of tossing off the mooring lines and free floating your jet ski. The engine will
be started and all other commands and steering will become available.

- stop
Typing this in local chat will deactivate the jet ski completely. The jet ski will be reset, righted up and
the engine will be cut.
- boost
For your enjoyment the jet ski comes with turbo boost! Typing this command in local chat will give
you a 10 second speed boost.
- cam
This command will make the camera reset. It's designed to repair your cam when you lose it on a sim
crossing.
- help
Displays this command list, along with a short explanation of what all commands do.
- channel NR
Typing channel and then a number below 100, but above 10 will change the channel your jet ski
listens on. Not that when you change this, the boat will not listen on the normal chat channel
anymore, so be careful. The channel gets saved into the jet ski.
- give controls
This option allows you to free up the jet ski's controls (the arrow keys on your keyboard) for your
crew. Once you type the command they assume full control.
- take controls
This takes back the controls.
- wakeboard
This command does two things. It turns your passenger backwards and it readies the boat to attach
a wakeboard. Note that the jet ski only works in combination with wakeboards by Ape Piaggio from
Piaggio Systems. Other wakeboards wont attach. The wakeboards are sold separately. For
instructions on how to operate them, see the wakeboard manual. Use this command for every
wakeboard you want to connect to the boat.
- nowake
This resets your passenger. It also prevents new wakeboards from being connected to your boat.
BALANCING THE JET SKI
Your jet ski is in perfect balance when you sit on it normally. Perfect balance however isn't always as
much fun. Sometimes you want to slide, jump or dive! Using SHIFT + left and right and using PGUP
and PGDN on your keyboard you can move yourself around on the seat of the jet ski. This will cause
the jetski to lean in all those directions. Not only does it make you lean over more or less, leaning
will also change the properties of your jetski's behaviour. Leaning to the side will make the hull less
grippy in the water for instance, thus allowing you to slide. Leaning back will enable you to slightly
jump your jetski. By how much is up to the acceleration you can get out of it.

AQUA PLANING
Aquaplaning, or planing for short is an effect seen in speed boats and fast sail boats. Aquaplaning
basically means your boat is gliding on top of the water rather than dragging through it. This makes
for much higher boat speeds. Your jet ski also has the ability to aqua plane. The hull is a flat, grooved
design which wants to stay on top of the water rather than in it when riding it fast. When planing
you will notice the jet ski is basically surfing on top of the water. Note that this specific hull design
does have some implications for the boat's performance. When planing it doesn't cut through the
water but rather slides over it when changing direction.
THROTTLE RESPONSE
As you might have noticed, your ride has a very quick throttle. Hold it down for a second and you're
at max throttle. Doing tricks requires a lot of power and it requires it fast. This is why your throttle is
so very responsive. More acceleration means more fun! You can however cruise the jet ski at slow
speeds too. When you lightly tap the up and down keys on your keyboard the throttle will only go up
or down by a bit. It's actually very precise and the more you play with it the more you'll be able to go
exactly as fast or slow as you like.
Holding down the up arrow will make you go faster. Holding down the down arrow wil slow you
down quick, much like a brake. When reaching zero throttle the jet ski stops. To reverse it, let go of
the down arrow on your keyboard and press it down again. Same works to accelerate or stop when
going in reverse.
TEXTURES
The jet ski comes with a texture pack. You can edit the jet ski and change the textures manually, like
you would on any other prim. By default the jet ski comes in gray, yellow, orange and pink. You can
use the textures to make a variation of your own. Simply download, edit, upload and apply.
Note that the jet ski also comes with a texture update script. You can use this script but really it's
meant for those who make and sell textures. They can edit the script to input their own textures and
sell it. If you decide to get a custom texture set, you probably will get this very script, then drop it in
your jet ski and watch their creations appear!
