RedactedNarrative: Operator anchored his boat near or on one of the turbines at Watts Bar Dam.  He anchored it from the port side of the bow and starboard side near the stern.  The turbine came on, and he could not get the anchors loose in time.  The waters erupting from the turbine ignition overtook his boat and sank it.  Both occupants were wearing pfd's and were pulled to safety by fishermen in another boat.
  
  The boat resurfaced shortly and was pulled in by another boat.  Only a few personal items were missing, and the boat appeared to be undamaged.
