  1. They would be doing the maintenance very regularly while the boat was on the oil rig at the ready, but it could be that it never got to move from storage somehwere, or that it was decommissioned soon after, in which cases no one would have bothered.
  2. Thanks a lot Peugeot. I need the drawings asap for a tank change, and maintenance will follow later. This is an ex lifeboat and the fuel filler needs to be outside like a regular canal boat, and a few other things like a breather pipe and fuel return hose, whatever that may be. I'll take the opportunity also to remove the ginomormous diesel tank and fit a 45L. I'll probably post a new post on that one tomorrow... As for the oil change and maintenance in these past 17 years... not sure it happened. Thanks Tony
  3. Thanks a lot. I got a manual from https://www.winget.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/LISTER-PETTER-LPW-LPWS-OPS-MANUAL.pdf The pictures are insanely bad I should be able to find better ones now with the full reference. Thanks a lot everyone. I think I'll be able to find my way around the engine somewhat...
  4. Hi. I have recently bought a boat with the pictured Lister Petter 40HP. I understand it is not possible to determine the Lister Petter model from the serial number alone, so any tips on what this is would be very welcomed. Ideally I would like to identify the type so I could get a full manual and drawings, if any are available on the light or dark webs. Under Type it has "L4-186GB", but google had nothing to say about that. Thanks
  5. Thanks Bee. I know about the hose now, and will have to decide on the best type of vent for my purposes. I don't know yet if it will be fitted horizontally or not.
  6. Thanks David These lifeboats are enclosed, and do go under water completely when dropped from an height. No holes anywhere!
  7. Hi all I've bought a decommissioned enclosed life boat, which I'm told will require a few changes and additions to be compliant with the canal world/BSS exam. The changes I am aware of are "fuel pipe change", "external fuel tank filler" and "breather pipes" to meet BS7840 specification. The fuel pipe change and filler I think I understand. These enclosed life boat tanks are in the cabin and an external filling hole needs to be fitted, and the fuel hose must be compliant to the BS spec above. But what are breather pipes, and how does one fit them and to what? Tips with photos would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.
  8. So please read this version. I took it from the RYA template. I'm sure they meant "Transferee" and not "Transferor" the second time. https://www.rya.org.uk/sitecollectiondocuments/legal/Web Documents/Legal Leaflets/Members Advice/Bill of Sale/BILL OF SALE.pdf Many thanks for all your help. I ended up learning stuff about banking I had no idea about.
  9. I feel like I'm buying a small or medium sized country rather than selling a boat with all this paper and banking stuff I wonder is there would be this much fuss if I tried to sell Cyprus or even Belgium to an American tourist...
  10. Indeed. I just realised that in the UK, unlike in other countries, the Banks are responsible to cover for most frauds. I suppose if their customers make it too easy then they would not have to. We're meeting for the bank transfer but the clerks are not allowed to witness signatures and we don't know anyone else in the area. Being London one can't just know of random doors or even walk in a shop and ask for a signature and address
  11. I won't include the getting the boat over. As that will be a favour it will not be mentioned in the contract after all.
  12. Crikey this is so bloody complicated!! I'll think I'll start again, using the RYA template instead. Thanks Cheese
  13. That was the original plan. The seller said he'll meet me at his bank to do the transfer so I thought we could have one person to witness the signatures too.
  14. Something like this? This is really an adaptation of my friend's document I included on my first post here. Please feel free to suggest corrections. As the moving of the boat is post-contract and a courtesy agreed verbally, should the paragraph where it is mentioned be completely removed for the sake of simplicity? Thanks
  15. Thanks for all the info regarding banking scams but that's not really what I was looking to have answered. I'm more looking for suggestions for Bill of Sale or other documents suitable for a private boat purchase. Thanks
  16. I'm really just trying to get the boat ownership papers organised, following the payment. The delivery of the boat is a.courtesy from my part after the sale is done. I shouldn't have mentioned it, in hindsight, as that's just a detail. Yes That's what I thought too...
  17. Wow. I did know know about that. Well if he published his details on the paper, and being a wealthy and well known person, I suppose he posed a challenge to the best hacking minds all over the globe. Scary stuff.
  18. Thanks David The buyer is not an experienced driver and there's central London and a tunnel in between where the boat is and where he wants it to be.
  19. I don't understand that one. Can anyone but the bank account holder remove money from a bank account? How? Yes that is definitely a concern but I'm only at the stage of deciding what document of sale is appropriate at the moment.
  20. Thanks Yank. I'll add anything relevant to this deal. Money cannot be removed by a personal account once it is deposited unless by the account holder, I don't think. I'd never hear that one before. On a massive boat and in London that would be quite impossible but I'm interested in knowing about that scam for any other sales I may be involved in the future.
