V1 was coming out of Spadra Creek into an open shallow stumpy area on Lake Dardanelle when the motor made contact with a stump under the water.  Upon contact V1 spun around and landed on a mud flat.  The motor had been broken off at the mounting bracket and was only attached by the steering cables.  The operator cut the motor loose and another vessel towed V1 back to the boat ramp.
