V1 operator was attempting to maneuver into a boat slip; his wife and the victim were behind V1 in the water.  They had been trying to dislodge an anchor from the bottom of the lake. Once they completed the task, the operator miscalculated the angle when trying to dock V1 so he put V1 in reverse and struck the victim.  The victim was not wearing a life jacket at the time and went under but was able to resurface screaming for help.  Her left leg was severed below the knee, her right leg sustained severe muscle damage and damage to the fibula, the ulna of her right arm was damaged and she had a laceration on the right arm from her elbow to her palm.
