- Your bass boat is equipped with a very powerful outboard motor, capable of
- moving the boat around the lake very quickly. To start the outboard motor,
- press "O" on your keyboard. If you are using a mouse, just point at the word
- OUTBOARD with your mouse and press the left button. The number 1 beneath the
- word OUTBOARD will light up, indicating that the motor is running on the
- lowest speed. If you have the sound turned on, a buzzing sound will be heard
- from the speaker in your computer.

- Once the outboard motor is running, you can speed it up or slow it down to
- suit your needs. To speed up, press the INS key on your keyboard. To slow
- down, press the DEL key. These keys are usually on the numeric keypad. If you
- are using a mouse, just point at the speed you want (1 thru 5) in the command
- window and click on it. The speed you have selected will light up. As you
- speed up, the frequency of the buzz you hear will increase, provided you have
- the sound enabled.
-
- The movement of the boat with the outboard motor running is the same as when
- the trolling motor is running. If you are in CAST MODE, use the "A" key to
- move the boat to the left, the "D" key to move it right, the "W" key to move
- up, and the "X" key to move down. Diagonal movement is possible using the "Q",
- "E", "Z", and "C" keys. The outboard motor can be used to move the boat at
- high speeds. The faster you go, the more gas you use, but less time is
- consumed.
-
- Many lakes have areas designated a NO WAKE areas. This means that you must
- go through the area with only enough speed to maintain steerage in your boat.
- In BASS CLASS, if you come to a NO WAKE area (designated by floating signs),
- be sure to slow down to speed number 1. Failure to do so may result in a
- citation and/or fine. These areas may be passed through under power of the
- trolling motor without and hassles.
-
-
- When moving the boat under power of the outboard motor, it is advisable to
- wear your life jacket. In BASS CLASS, if you are zooming around on the lake
- using the outboard motor, you might get a citation if you are not wearing
- your life jacket. If the words LIFE VEST are lit at the top of the command
- window, you have your life jacket on.
