V1 struck a submerged log causing the outboard motor to come up and come completely off of the transom.  The 25hp motor struck the operator in the rear left side of his head causing a laceration.  The prop then struck the passenger, which was sitting on the left side of the operator, in the left arm.  The prop cut through the passenger's jacket but did not make contact with the skin.  V1 sustained damage to the transom.  The operator was taken to Stuttgart Hospital via private vehicle where he received 12 stitches for his injury.
