I am trying to turn my engine, can anybody tell me how to decompress it? I am new to this size of diesel engine. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
 
You have no decompression valves. If you just want to rotate the engine, hold the stop button while turning the key. If you want to start it, do that for 5 seconds and then glow it, and start it.
Is there a problem? Are you worried about something?

Thanks for the info.
I have no worries, actually is the answer to an argument with a fellow boater regarding the strength required to turn a large engine.
Thank you again.
