RedactedNarrative: On May, 27, 2013 I was notified about a boating accident that occurred on May, 25 at approximately 1100hrs. Operator was heading East through Black Point Channel at idle speed, when he felt something struck the bottom of his vessel. He looked into the water and saw that channel marker #7 was completely submerged underneath the water surface, making the marker not visible. The collision damage was to the port side lower unit, skeg, propeller and on the starboard side damage to the propeller.  Upon my investigation I concluded that marker #7 was submerged and caused damage to vessel.
  
  There were no violation which contributed to this accident.
  
  The current registration on the vessel FL 6517 PD is a dealer registration number. The previous registration is FL 8830 NM.
