RedactedNarrative: V1's reserve did not engage when he was attempting to dock but instead went forward, causing him to collide with adjacent vessels. 
  On March 1st, 2023, Officer was dispatched to a boating accident. Once I arrived on scene, I met with the operator of V1. OP1 is the owner and operator of V1. This incident involved 6 vessels total. OP1 was the only one on board any of the vessels when the accident occurred. All other vessels involved were unoccupied and docked at the time. 
  Per OP1 witness statement, he was returning from a day out on the water to dock the vessel. This dock space required his vessel to be back in with the bow pointing outwards. When OP1 was in line with the dock to reserve in, the vessel’s reserve did not engage. He tried it again; however, it still did not engage. At this time, the wind was pushing his vessel towards the involved vessels. He then increased power in reserve, he explains how the vessel then went forward causing him to collied with V2, V3, V4, V5 and V6 that were located adjacent from his vessel. He advised the vessel was going approximately 5 miles per hour when his vessel made contact. OP1 then cut his engine off completely and was assisted by other personal to properly dock his vessel. V1 and struck vessels suffered minor damage, V1 with bow damage, V2 with port side damage. V3 with port side damage, V4 with port side damage, V5 with bow damage and V6 with bow damage. 
  No other parties witnessed the accident. 
  No injuries were reported
