Introduction
What is a "Boat Engine"?
This engine is called a "Screwprop", which runs the Propeller, which is submerged to create a push, thus moving the boat
Setting up the chassis
To create a chassis, or setup for the screwprop, you must have 3 nodes in a triangular shape. Like so:
screwprops ;prop node,back node,top node,power 88,93,91,100000.0 89,92,90,100000.0
The settings entered there are borrowed from the Truck Description File section of the wiki
Conclusion
Once you have finished making the three nodes in a triangle and stabalizing it with beams, You should enter the "screwprops" section into your .boat file, then, you can have your own sea exploration! :-)
