RedactedNarrative: This accident happened on 06/12/13 at Blackjack Cove Marina in Old Hickory, TN.  I received a call at approximately 13:00 stating that a docked boat had been damaged by the wake of another vessel coming in for fuel.  The boat that was damaged was a 45'' Stol Kraft.  The Stol Kraft was docked on the end of a row closest to the break wall of the marina, in slip B24.  Two people were on the Stol Kraft at the time working on the boat.  According to their statements the boat that caused the wake and subsequent damage was a 45''5" Sea Ray with TN number of 3689 CA.  According to statements  by workers, the Sea Ray was in operation, traveling downstream toward the entrance of the marina.  According to their statement the Sea Ray was traveling at roughly 12 knots or 1/4 throttle.  They estimated the Sea Ray to have come with in 25 yards of the break wall.  After the Sea Ray passed slip B24 the Sea Ray changed speed to an idle.  At this time they reported a large wake approached and went over the break wall.  According to their statement it rocked the Stol Kraft in its slip which led to the damage of a rail.  The rail was located toward the bow on the port side.  It was made of a solid piece of stainless steel and was bent.  A contributing factor to this damage could have been the result of the way the boat was secured.  The boat was tied to the slip and the rope was attached to the railing that was bent.  The Sea Ray continued into the marina and stopped for fuel.  This is where information was obtained.  I interviewed Operator1 and his story differs from the other account of what happened.  Operator1 stated that he was much farther out in the channel at the time and did not notice any significant wake leaving his boat.  I asked the passenger on Operator1''s boat and he agreed with his statement.  Though the stories differ, one factor was the same and that is that Operator1''s boat was coming in for gas at the time.  Whether the wake that damaged the boat originated from Operator1''s boat seems to be disputed by witnesses.
