Thanks it was a new boat 12 years ago, it was design as a live aboard and has never been moved since, the engine is brand new just never hooked up. Yes I've read the bsl guide cheers but not found it that helpful

Hi all, I am in need of a bit of advice, we have put in an offer on a 12 year old 72 foot measham boats trad narrow boat (subject to survey) it needs the engine installing, now I've searched hi and low for info about the engine it's a Isuzu 38. It needs a few bits replacing as the current owners never got it plumbed in but also had another boat with the same engine so have removed a few bits to use on the other boat which they have now sold. It needs a fuel spill rail, alternator, flexible shaft coupling, battery and all piping and fittings. My first question is anything other than checking it's not seased I should be looking for on this engine? I have checked I can get the needed parts and as an engineer I'm happy to fit it. Any wisdom that you pass on would be appreciated as this would be the first diesel engine install I've done
