Pegasus multi-purpose trawler (Updated xmas 2025)
Modern Multi-Purpose Fishing Vessel - Pegasus
The Ship
This trawler is capable of fishing any depth and features a full autotrawl system, semi realistic electric system and more.
The trawling system uses doors. There is no ropework required, the procedure is described below. Any questions feel free to dm me on discord @ [url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscord.gg%2FezBVdHCbZ7]https://discord.gg/ezBVdHCbZ7[/url]
Unique Features
I've added a bunch to this over the years but ill try and list everything.
[list]
[*] Speed: 48 knots (35 in Eco)
[*] Range: The monitors say 100km (130 in eco) i haven't tested it, but its probably not far from the truth.
[*] These nets can fish any depth ranging from 10 to 300.
[*] GPS plotter and Garmin monitors. No autopilot, only heading hold.
[*] Realistic-ish design – All internal spaces are accessible, realistic-ish electrics etc
[*] No active stabilization – This is a pure boat with relatively realistic handling.
[*] A diving bell. idk i was doing some stuff in MP with a friend and i've kind of just left it in the boat
[*] MOB system that should in most cases declutch the engine if you go overboard. The system is self explanitory.
[*] Generator with emergency start -- You can click the battery breaker to off in the engine room for a more realistic electrics experience. Hydralic deck gear will not work without the generator running.
Theres some other stuff. Its career ready, so has a fire hose, repair torches, the ability to pump fuel in/out, etc.
[/list]
Startup Procedure
Battery on: Go to wheelhouse, turn key, go. Throttle is w/s press 1 for clutch and 2 for reverse.
Battery off: Go to engine room, start spinning the handle THEN press generator ignition (bottom button) and keep spinning until RPM > 120. Once its running, press electrics and hydralics.
Trawling: Shooting the Gear
Trawling is relatively simple.
[list]
[*] Ensure Hydraulics are ON.
[*] Press Autodepth
[*] Press set. Insert the depth you want with the keypad. It defaults to 50, and 50 is the minimum. set it to a number higher than 320 if you want it to just trawl along the bottom.
[*] Press haul when you want the net out the water. Slow the boat down but keep it clutched in, press dump when the net is properly positioned (fish will drop out the net and land in the hopper)
Keep autonet on at all times. If you really choose to play without it, there are buttons for net size and door winches somewhere.
[*] When youre done and want to park the doors back in their place, press "stow" and declutch the engine. The system should work winches and outriggers until the doors connect. This is quite untested
[/list]
Hauling: Lobster Pots
Assuming you use my pots, you have two options: Either attach the little black connector thingy to the derrick winch or manually hook the cable into the bouy. I will assume you manually hook the cable in.
[list]
[*] Attach the bouy to the derrick. Winch the derrick up.
[*] Press "Signal to winch" and wait. This has activated the winch on the pot itself and its making its way to you. Takes about 30 seconds.
[*] Wrestle it onboard the boat.
[*] Press the dump button. Wait.
[*] Swing the pot back over the side, press "signal to winch" again (so the pot winches out again)
[*] remove bouy from derrick.
[/list]
It looks scary, its pretty simple once you get into it. Ask me on discord or here if you are unsure.
FAQS
Q: The boat won't move!
A: Did you turn on the MOB system? Is there a red light? Reset the system.
Q: The net wont get bigger or leave the trawl doors!
A: Turn on autotrawl. It should be on by default.
Q: The trawl system wont do anything
A: Start the generator and turn on hydralics. Failing that, ensure Autodepth is switched on.
Q: The engine wont rev!
A: Its intentional the engine does not rev unless its clutched in. There is an override for this if you really want to rev it up
Q: How do i make it sink?
A: Open the hold door, then open the hatch to the engine room.
Q: Why no autopilot?
A: I just don't find it neccessary. Heading hold is sufficient for me. I can enable it if people annoy me enough, its just a few logic nodes to connect.
Q: Whats antistall?
A: Its an electric motor that kicks in if the RPM drops too low. You don't need it with how flywheels work nowadays but old habits die hard. The engine will start a little quicker with Antistall on and if you're hammering it in and out of reverse it can keep the engine going.
Q: Whats the "save him" button?
A: I play MP with a friend sometimes. He tends to lag out and DC. This button declutches his boat.
Q: Whats the password for the drawer downstairs?
A: The funniest possible number: 69
Q: Whats the password for the Fuel Tank?
A: same as my other boats: 52
Q: Whats the random stuff in the cargo hold?
A: Just different attachments for picking up stuff from the seabed.
Q: The diving bell, louden? How do i use it?
A: Attach the MIDDLE cable to the PORT outrigger. This is important!! Then attach the crane to the other cable connector. Lift it over the side, open the door, get in and then click the red square. Use the buttons to winch up/down. tbh i've mostly just left this in the boat out of laziness. I'm sure someone can get the use for it!
I'll try to give credit for the things I can, but theres some stuff on this boat i've ripped from other creations over the last 6 years and I cannot find the original author. The cooker as a basic example is not mine, It came from a different boat. It was so long ago I cannot know who to give credit too, although I will if the OP makes themselves known. I Have not intended to steal anything and present it as my own. The best I can do is tell you that the Krask monitoring system, the entire ship including the hull and engines are my own creation. the ECU running the engine is not mine, any LUA screen that is not the krask monitoring system is not mine. Hopefully I've managed to cover just about everything.
