RedactedNarrative: V1 WAS HEADED SOUTH IN THE WESTLAND MARINA BASIN.  THE OPERATOR OF V1 ATTEMPTED TO POSITION THE STARBOARD SIDE OF HIS VESSEL ALONG THE EAST SIDE OF A STATIONARY DOCK IN ORDER TO MOOR TO IT.  THE OPERATOR OF V1 ATTEMPTED TO STEER THE VESSEL BY ENGAGING THE REVERSE THROTTLE IN AN EFFORT TO SLOW HIS SPEED AND NAVIGATE V1 ALONGSIDE THE DOCK.  WHEN V1 ENGAGED THE REVERSE THROTTLE OF V1, IT SUFFERED FROM A MECHANICAL FAILURE THAT CAUSED THE FORWARD THROTTLE TO ENGAGE INSTEAD.  V1 THEN HIT THE STARBOARD BOW OF HIS VESSEL INTO THE DOCK AND CONTINUED SOUTH UNTIL COLLIDING WITH V2, WHICH WAS SECURED TO A PILING.  THE SHALLOW BOTTOM AT THE COLLISION SITE ALSO CAUSED V1 TO RUN AGROUND.  THE COLLISION RESULTED IN GELCOAT DAMAGE TO V1 , AND THE MOTOR AND MOUNTS OF V2 BEING DAMAGED AND ALMOST COMPLETELY DISENGAGED FROM THE VESSEL.
