Our fishing boat Siam acquired last summer went through some hardships this winter.

Our fishing boat sinking

With a hole in the hull, it was close to sinking several times. But thanks to the interventions of Martijn, Sebastian and Agne, Siam was saved.

Equipped with a brand new water pump, connected to a battery charging with a solar pannel installed for the occasion, it now remains dry. Some freediving and dry work are planned this summer to fix the hole once and for all.

But there was still a big problem to solve.

The engine problem

The Volvo Penta diesel engine that had been under water was not functionning anymore. It would simply not start.

Sebastian bought a new starter motor, and with some work together with Jeanne and Chat GPT, the other causes of the problem were investigated.

The injector chambers were inspected, the injectors themselves got tested in Gothenburg, and it turn out that it was the injection pump that stopped the fuel from being delivered.

With some moves that were sometimes random, we finally managed to find a way to start the engine.

Siam back to normal

We were rewarded by hosting the first freediving course of the season, as well as a boat excursion with some Hästekasen residents.

Things are back to normal, and you can enjoy extra quality freediving courses at the farm.

As well as boat tours on Koljö Fjorden.
